Thanks for that info, the strange thing is that it is not in
/etc/modules.conf. There are things there but that is not one of them
and I have not removed anything so I am not sure what that is about.
But its not part of my problem and that was a question. Now I just have
to find a way to save this hd w/o spending $1k's of dollars! cheapest
rate I've found for recovery is $129/hr and that is somewhere I have to
mail off. I would rather have somewhere I can drop it off and pick it
up. Anyone know of a good data recovery place?
