Though it is a 6E030L0510213 MAXTOR DiamondMax Plus 8 30 GB Hard Drive, it is detected as a 40G N40P (Factory name). I have tried inputting the correct values for Cyl/Hds/Sec but the drive fails and is unreadable. As far as I can tell the actual data is fine and the drive is fine, it's just this error that changes the firmware settings back to the N40P values.

• We appreciate the support you provided in this matter. Thanks a lot for fast, professional service.

The drive is clicking; I took this to my local shop. They couldn't read from it with their tech stuff. They said I needed professional help. There may or may not have been a power failure or surge. Computer was on in a.m. and when I came home in p.m. had a screen message that it couldn't boot.

• Dear Data-R-Us.com team
  I can't tell you how happy I am that I send my damaged hard drive to you for recovery. In spite of the fact that I did not request speedy service, you had a report for me within two days of the time you received it. On top of that, you recovered everything! ...I popped it into the computer and everything was there. I also liked the fact that you published your prices up front...I don't like dealing with vague guesses as to recovery costs. In spite of the fact that I hope I never have to use your services again, you will be the first people I contact if I ever lose a hard drive again.
