Last time this happened Gene recommended that I should hit the hard disk
drive with a hammer on startup and it worked :). I was able to backup
important data, but I couldn't backup all data. I noticed that after the
HDD rest for a while, a week or so, it worked better when using the
hammer, resp. I used a slat.
