I picked up a <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822204034" rel="nofollow">Fantom Titanium II from newegg</a>...they're only $100 now for a 500 GB drive, but it's not quite as portable as the WD Passport (since it's not powered by USB). It's worked perfectly so far... Let me know how your recovery process works...hope you get everything back.

I've gotten the music off by copying in small chunks. It will fail after a few GB but then I just start over from where it left off because my music is organized by itunes and the copying is done sequentially. The problem lies in large video files. I hope your suggestions work. Now I just need to figure out what portable drive to buy next. I don't have much faith in buying another WD passport. I am having a similar problem with mine.
