My hard disk was working fine. Then suddenly after moving it from another room (it is a laptop).
I did what I found suggested as I feel the HD is a now dead but?? may be I can retrieve some files?
Here's the terminal output:
ronald@ronald-Latitude-D505:~$ dmesg | tail

What does anyone suggest? I read this by installing a new HD and then connecting the "broken" one via a USB as an ext drive.
