[X4U] Recovery or a dead external HD

[Dave Bonhoff]

Just to clarify, is the problem with a hard drive in an enclosure or  
with a bare hard drive?

If it is an enclosure, buy a new external enclosure and move the hard  
drive into it? If it is a bare hard drive, you will either have to  
find another drive that is exactly identical (including firmware!) to  
the one you have, and you should be able to swap the circuit board to  
yours and get the drive back in service.
