Disaster strikes!
Bang! My PC just died a couple of days ago. I have a few ideas, but I can't be bothered figuring out exactly what's gone wrong right now so I just nipped out and bought a new PC.
Alas, I'm having difficulty figuring out how to remove the drive cage from the old case (I've removed every screw & tried pressing or prising every metal tab & flange I can find). Till I do get the drive out I can't do much ST stuff. I had a backup on an external drive, but it's a few weeks old. Guess I should improve my backup strategy, OTOH, all I need to do here is physically remove the old drive from the case!!!

Finally found the secret method for releasing the drive cage. Now recovering files. w00t!
Ouch. Bad news dude!
On the plus side, the new PC is nicer than the old - Quad Q8200 @ 2.6GHz with 8Gb Ram. Though, it’s running x64 Vista, which is an unknown beast to me. Still, we’ll all have to go x64 eventually….
