BIOS S.M.A.R.T errror. Drive still spins. I can see files on disk and browse them but during browse / access they do not read. I ran drive recovery routines in OSX and fsck.

• FIXED!
  Of course you already knew that... ;-) Thanks so much for getting my data!
  Thanks again!

External LaCie Drive (with Western Digital HD) would not boot, so I replaced the power supply -- it booted just fine. Powered down for a couple of weeks. Updated the System software from a previous version of Mac OS X.4 to X.4.6. External drive failed to boot and could not be recognized by Disk Utility or Disk Warrior. Tried to get drive to work by changing out power supplies several times. No luck. The LED power light flickers repeatedly, both when the drive is powered and not plugged into the FireWire and when it is plugged to the FireWire and computer.

• Thank you for recovering my data, it's much appreciated.
