It's dead, Jim - totally dead.
Sep. 21st, 2004 04:51 pmI have a dead hard drive. It's a Western Digital 120gig.
The PC does not recognise nor see the drive at all, nor does the WD diagnostic floppy.
I'm not too worried as I have a replacement, but I'd like to get some stuff off the dead drive if I can. (Just e-mail, documents, bookmarks and addresses)
I've heard that swapping the control board on the drive may work, but I don't have access to a second WD drive to do the swap.
Does anyone out there do data recovery?
