Have you tried the "CE Handshake" to get the drive going again?

If you mean pulling the drive, and giving the whole unit a few violent rotations about its approximate axis of platter rotations, I've used it myself to un-seize at least one drive on our 40S (one, I believe, that may still be in service years later). And I'm planning on attempting to do so with the D02, simply so that we can have a more orderly transition to having the source either on our 40S or possibly split between it and our 200. Besides which, if we can't restart a drive containing valuable data (like the source for QuestView), the drive will have to be pulled anyway, just to consign it to our "dead hardware museum," because we can't exactly let even a dead drive containing that kind of information out of the building.
