This is the first time I've ever had to turn to the community for help... but I'm desperate.
My hard disk sort of died today. It's been grinding down for ever, and it eventually kicked it

sometimes for the server, or to do misc jobs like encryption cracking, or whatever. Anyway,
it's not so much the drive itself which is important - I could buy a replacement one for
probobly under $10 - but having the data which I had stored on it is a matter of life or dea...

I have a Sony VAIO 100GB External Hard drive that has recently been acting up. I got it from eBay
about 8 months ago. Yesterday I accidentally pulled the plug on it and I accidentally used windows
vista (which currently has no anti-virus program). Today when I turned on the computer it said

'safely remove hardware' thing, but then the computer became really slow... So I waited and
waited... for 6 minutes, then I waited long enough and pulled the plug. I tried to restar...

there were major problems with my computer (reasons don't matter) and i couldn't reformat it
the right way... (by popping in the xp disk). so i put it in another computer as a secondary drive

knowledge about hardware knows, there is no way to COMPLETELY erase a hard drive, no matter which
way you reformat it. so, when i booted up my computer again, it gave me a message "NTLD...
