I want to salvage the stuff on it first.

I am not sure, but that is interesting, since I upgraded my rig with i7 and a new mobo. Can you please give me more info/your reasoning on this?

--- Quote ---On January 31, 2011, Intel issued a recall on all 67-series motherboards due to a flaw in the Cougar Point Chipset.[28] A hardware issue, in which the chipset's SATA-II ports may fail over time, cause failure of connection to SATA-II devices, though data is not at risk.[29] Intel claims that this problem will only affect 5% of users over 3 years however heavier I/O workloads can exacerbate the problem.

Got this one. A 68 it seems, I wonder if the error can be the same though.

Check here if your chipset is affected:

Also, your MB seems to have two SATA 6 Gb/s connectors and four 3 Gb/s connectors. Only the 3Gb/s connectors were affected so check if you have it connected to those. They are typically a different color.

nao, 68 came out after they issued the 67 recall. so i'm 99.9% its fine, the remaining 0.1% is it's naturally defective =D
AceHigh:
Ok, so I eliminated the MB error possibility. I guess it's the hard drive itself after all. I'll download some HD tools and see if I can revive this thing long enough to extract some stuff from it.
