Which is okay, if you are doing this, you are not trying to "save" the disk, you are trying to save the data... Which reminds me I should back up hitachi hdd in my notebook. It already hates me for the stuff I done with it. [Take a walk with running notebook in bag because this damn beast pretends to be powered off, and will magically come back few seconds later... Run notebook at near critical temperature for ~10 hours -- resulting in severe disk errors because drive failed to detect it is overheated and tried to operate....] Pavel -- When do you have a heart between your knees?
