Default Re: 1100 Recovery

Snaps use a modified XFS file system, no other system can read there hd's. The led patern you mention is like some one tried to reset the snap and did not complete the access. If it's waiting for an OS it's normally a 1 x 2 code.

Try to copy the first 25meg of the hd using DD to a img file. If so you can recover from a HD failure. If the HD spins up, try SpinRite it may recover enough or repair the hd so it will boot again. If it fails at the 4-5% area, the HD is bad.
