i guess i'm really having a bad luck of keeping my hard disks alive. all together there are 6 hard disks of mine crashes since 2005.

1) maxtor 2.5", 20gig - crashes for no reason
2) maxtor 3.5", 80gig - crashes after using partition magic
3) WD 2.5", 40gig - making a "tic...tic..tic" sound but not vibrating, not detected in xp, vista
4) WD 2.5", 250gig - cyclic redundancy error blah blah
5) Seagate 3.5", 160gig - i dunno what's the error, suddenly cant detect
6) WD 3.5", 320gig - i dunno what's the error, suddenly cant detect, cant initialize in hard disk management

and during these tragedies i suffered and mourning for all the data loss..

i've been trying my best in all my knowledge to fix all of them, all recovery softwares, consult few of my friends that are geek enough, but still unable to save them. and it's unfortunate all these accident happen right after the warranty expires.
