Well, it looks like there's not much mucking about to do as the disk
isn't even spinning. The virus looks to be a coincidence. Certainly
Badtrans isn't listed for this sort of wreckage so it looks like a hard

This is when that backup thing would have been handy, right?

So, any suggestions for how to get it spinning again?
