Can the video of Steve Albini's lecture at Middle Tennesee State University (March 12, 2004) be found online? He talked about why he doesn't record digitally. "I don't use digital recording because it's inappropriate for the work that I do. I do permanent recording of records that are intended to last forever. They are the history of the band I am working for at the moment, and it is vitally important to them."

If you still have the drive you could take it to a data recovery service. They can retrieve the magnetic data from the drive.
Albini's uber analog pretenses bore me senseless. Audio tape is just as fallible as magnetic drives. After all they are both magnetic mediums.
