HD-CE640LU2 not working

[KBS]

(The following applies to both XP and Win 7 machines I have tried)

 

My HD-CE640LU2 was working fine until last week.

 

Now I cannot access my backups (and I need to get to them!)

 

I can access the setup page for a few minutes, but after awhile, the blue light stops flashing and the unit seems to stop responding

I can see files when looking at the drive via USB, but they do not make sense.

 

lots of files with .kdc extension and size of 0

one file BIGFILE.REC which is 4KB

 

Properties of the drive show Used Space 639,976,112,128 bytes 596 GB and no free space

What happens when you try and access the unit via window using \\192.168.2.8 ?

[KBS]

Accessing it via the IP address gives the same screens as I got the information above.

Going into Disk Management that way and doing a disk check does the same as before. Blue light for about 45 seconds, then no response.

Any ideas on recovery of my data?

I have posted pictures of what files are on the drive and the properties of the drive when I attach it to my computer via USB rather than access via the network.

I remember that before it malfunctioned, I wouldn't see this sort of structure. I would see the same share structure that can be seen through the  network.

 

The pictures are posted to my blog. Click on the pictures there to see the detail. Let me know if you need any more information.
