hey,

I have this 500 GB external LACIE USB 2.0. Recently it started making these weirds sounds from the AC adaptor. Sounds like a cd-rom drive spinning. From then on it wouldn't recognize it.

I figure the AC adaptor is dead. Is there a way i could recover all of my movies from it?? Inside it has 2 X 250 GB IDE with one set as master.

I tried putting one of them on slave and using another external case.
I tried adding it as secondary slave one IDE as my dvd-rom is set on the Primary channel. When it booted up it said cannot boot from this disk evern thiough I changed the BIOS settings to reflect anything but the new HD. Any help would be appreciated! ;)

is the drive in the new external case working alright? is your c:drive a sata? is the 2nd 250gig jumpered as a slave, master or cable select for internal use? does the bios see the internal 250gig hd?

My C drive is a SATA, but these two inside my extrnal are IDE.
When i added one of the drives inside my comp, I set it as secondary slave. The BIOS recognized the drive, but didn't let me boot for some reason. It said something like can't boot from this disk, but i set the main boot device to my real master boot drive. Any ideas?

I'm sure they were in RAID because one is master one is slave. Would I have to add them both inside my computer for them to work?

Thank you for your help so far
