Well so far, I have been unsuccessful in retrieving anything off my dead drive, but I still have a few more tricks up my sleeve. But sadly, the tricks are slowly running out so I'm not exactly thrilled at the prospect of losing everything. Keeping hope though.

I've pretty much decided what I'm doing in the aftermath of my hard drive failure. Without my 400GB drive, my server is almost at its storage limit so I'll need to get a replacement. I plan on picking up a 1TB SATA hard drive and dumping that into my server. I'll be doing some moving of data around to allow for better room alotments, and since Hardy Heron (Ubuntu 8.04) comes out in a couple days, I'll reformat the root partition and bring my server back online.

Anyway, wish me luck
