If you can't read the info the HD is failing. See if you can copy the first 15-25 meg of HD to use for another HD using the dd instruction in wiki. If so you may have dodged 1 bullit. If yuu have another drive the same mfg, I have swapped controller boards in the past and got some back. But be very carefull, if the media is self destructing, ever time you start it the more damage is done. After you have copied the boot tracks, and if you do not plan on using a recovery service. Try SpinRite by GRC. It works at the contoller level and does not inturpit the data structure, just bit by bit.

If you require the data, contact Snap-Tech. He runs a recovery service and can help you out. He is 25-75% cheaper than the competition.
