If it is just a USB hard drive. Often they are just IDE drives that you
can pull out and install into a system. Of course doing that may void
the products warranty.
I have had a professor here who had a USB memory key that wasn't
working, and they wound up breaking one of the four metal connectors off
of the USB plug. I was able to take it apart put the metal back in it's
place and hold it long enough to get the data off.

Subject: [MSUNAG] Recover data from external USB Drive
Has anyone had success in recovering data from a USB external storage
backup drive? The utilities I have tried using (Norton or the built in
disk first aid) can not see the external drive at all. I am looking for
tips or suggestions.
Thanks
