This is a question Corruption

I once had to grease a custom official's palm to get out of a foreign country, a wad of bank notes worth about 45p which went straight into his pocket. In fact, everybody on our flight had to, the thieving scrote. Talk to us about corrupt officials, or confess your own wrongdoing. We won't tell anyone.

Thanks to Ye of Little Faith for the suggestion

Couldn't boot or anything.

Did you try turning it off and on again?

Yes. I gave it a kick
And it fell over.

You have to put it in the freezer for a day and then thaw it in the microwave.

One of my NAS drives has fallen over and can't get up
I've heard of the 'stick it in the freezer' thing and googled it a bit.

Apparently, this isn't as good an idea with the newer drives - I'm still gonna try it though, just to get the pictures off it, and the music. Then the drive goes back to WD on warranty.

RAID is your friend, my friend.
I personally prefer RAID1 for speed but it's expensive in disks, for a fall back I'd be happy with RAID5.
