I remember spinrite performing miracles in the past. Been a long time 
since I've used that one.  Has the product done down hill or is it the 
drive maybe.

I'm sure there are others with more experience on the topic, but could 
it be the usb adapter? At least the problem of spinrite killing it? I'd 
have plugged it in directly when I broke out a tool like that. I guess I 
just wouldn't trust the USB adapters that level of access.
