Still haven't managed to get any OS to boot when the drive's plugged in (Windows crashes at the loading screen, and safe mode doesn't seem to help). Still need to try w2k and a USB/SATA drive enclosure, though.

Drive itself is starting to look completely dead. Managed to get a pair of recovery programs to look at it and neither one of them was very happy (One just crashed. The other kinda sat there, locking up Windows off and on and sitting at 0 percent / sector 0 for an hour or two (On my other drives, it goes through sectors at a rate of over 50k per second...Given that there are like 600 million sectors, doesn't look promising).

May start a completely new version. I was considering a significant rewrite of the code to clean it up before releasing it as open source, anyways. We'll see.
