That`ll get them back for you.

Thanks both.

Yeah, could do but there was a bunch of my nippers videos and some other bits and bobs that I'd like back too.
I've done some data recovery like this once before on another drive and while some stuff was recovered, most of it was corrupt even after giving them proper extensions etc.
I've had the drive down to a friends tonight and tested the enclosure's electrics and all seems fine with that, so it's deffo looking like the logic board on the HDD has failed. I'm going to go gung ho to try and find a way to sort this before forking out 2-400 notes. Maybe a trip to the local computer fair and see if I can spot an identical HDD.
