I am slowly getting through the 200 ways to revive document but mine problem is a little different.
My drive doesn’t detect with the BIOS, auto or manual. I have tried it in a couple of machines and with different jumper settings (master, slave).
It was working perfectly. I shut down and swapped the mobo and when I restarted the drive was dead. The main drive was fine.
I have managed to get a second drive exactly the same and swapped boards. Then neither worked. It sounds like it spins up and the LED on the logic board flashes.
All I need is to get the data off.
Any suggestions from here without sending it away and spending a fortune. After all if I could afford that I could have afforded a drive for backup.
Regards, James
