what's the url for your thread over at tivocommunity.com, das? I've just been lurking over there lately, but I'd be happy to take a look at the thread and see if I can be of assistance.

It's a tough one, which probably explains why no one will respond to it. They probably don't want to look dumb by not knowing the answer.*

d00d... Sorry about all of that. Wow, seems like this is going around. The wife is having a pretty bad and stressful [read: death, firings, etc] crap this week as well. I've been meaning to get in touch. Email forthcoming.....

Hey, das, I don't know anything about tivo's, but I have had hd's crash on me. I don't know if this will help, but here's 2 links to companies I've used software from for data recovery.

Good luck!

Thanks for the links. Unfortunately, as best I can tell, it's an issue with the controller board. I cannot get the BIOS to recognize the drive in any capacity, which means I'm unable to run any software on it at all. Even worse, the drive is pretty obscure. But I've tracked down the model (slightly different revision) on eBay, so I'm going to buy it, swap the boards, and see if I can pull a rabbit out of my ass. I only need the drive for about 5 minutes anyway. I'd like to keep the shows on the drive if possible, but all I need is the indexing information to access my second drive. If I can just get it up and running for a few minutes, the day might be saved. Anyway, thanks for trying to help.
jkingfish, hope the wife's doing OK. Maybe there's an apocalypse on the way or something. You notice how it's stormed like a MF every single day since April? Something's rotten down here in the ATL.

I'll say!
First I wrote the above and then I scrolled down! Looks like the nut-kicking came from on-high! 
Commiserations!

Thanks, Das! She's doing fine, more family drama than sorrow on this one, unfortunately, but you know how that goes. In any case, haven't we been taught that there's ALWAYS an impending apocolypse around the corner?

On the other hand, the thread was locked with several points on the "winning" side.

• Quoth Venusian •<HR SIZE=1>where is our promised thread das? <HR SIZE=1>
Well, I was going to make the thread, but I decided after repeated badgering from Venusian that I wouldn't do it this year. Everyone please thank him with a big round of applause.
