That’s what I feared. In fact, since my first post, some google searching indicates that there are several other threads on this forum as well as several others dealing with this exact same problem. However, one thing that was not clear from investigating this issue was what if I don’t care to recover the data; I just want a working external HD. Since my first post, I no longer need any of the data on here anymore, and at this point all of the data is entirely disposable. Will a third party 3.5 in. enclosure get me back up and running again?
Best,
James
