I left it over night and it was showing the red light again, I tried to re boot it as per the manual by holding the function button etc and it came up with the red 7 sec error code for firmware corrupted so I am now going to have to call tech support.
I am thoroughly cheesed of with this, I have only had it since Nov and have been using it for my iTunes and my small business to store invoice and customer data, over the weekend I added about 9,000 pictures of the last 10 years of our son growing up, and although I still have all of this data (other than the customer data and that wasn't much), the biggest loss is the time it will take to get it recovered as I now have to take a day off work to call tech support as they only work 9:00 - 17:00 (UK GMT)..
What are the chances of it working again, can anyone say?
thanks in advance.
