My USB drive -- a Venus case with a 350M PATA inside (can't read the drive
to get the model) won't read. Partition 6 and 7 fail with these errors:

6 is either reiserfs or ext3. 7 is FAT32, and 8 is ext3. I hear no weird
noises. It worked a few hours ago. Do I have enough information to
determine which is bad (the case or the drive), or do I need more?
While I have a backup of my main drive, I don't have a backup of this. It
isn't worth the \$$BIG_BUCKS I spent a few years ago to have a drive
resurrected, so while it'll suck if the data's gone, I'll get on with
things.
