There is absolutely no way

There is absolutely no way to retrieve the data :sad:.

Well, there is...

If it's the controller inside it that died and not the flash ram, it is possible to recover it. You need to use one of those recovery firms and it's quite expensive. Or you can buy the same drive and get the ram from the old drive to the new one if you happen to have the right equipment and are very handy with a solder/desoldering iron. This would be beyond most folks ability, though, including mine.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

As all of ya should know Microsoft is the Evil Empire, and Windows (a.k.a. Winblows or Windoze) is their greatest general, so please make a difference and install Linux or Free BSD on yer Windows comp.
