2 nights ago the drive kept parking itself, like it does when you turn it off.
Then as soon as the heads were parked they would un-park again.  I was
concerned, but the next night it worked fine.  The weather here has been
-30 Celcius, so I figured with everyones furnace fan kicking in every 10 min.
it would make the power lines in the appartment pretty noisey, and I guessed
that was what was causing the drive to park.

Now, this morning, it started doing the same thing.  Then, after a reboot,
it did not recognize the FFS partition (the only partition on it).
Is there some way I can recover the data on this?
