Hard Drive Failure - HELP!!!!
I recently formatted a hardrive that I recieved from someone who had updated there harddrive and no longer required it. I copied all data from my old partition D: to a new drive - Now D: , and deleted old partition D:
BEFORE: Old Drv<---C:---><------D:------> AFTER: Old Drv<-----------C:-----------> New Drv<-----------D:-----------> The new drive had been working fine for about 10hrs, but made a 'clonk' noise, and XP displayed a Blue screen message (something to do with KERNAL) and shut itself down before I had chance to write up the message. On restarting, nither of my drives were detected so I took the new one out and had a look. I restarted the PC with just the old drive C: (holding the OS) and all worked fine, but when looking at the new drive I noticed that a small IC chip on the back PCB had a dent and looked as though it had 'popped'. _|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_ _| |_ _| XXXO |_ _| Damaged chip |_ _| Looked like this |_ |_____________| | | | | | | | | Well anyway, Data from over 10 years ago have been past down to this dive, Music, School work, Images and all sorts that I realy cant loose and I have no backups since I had only just replaced the drive! HELP!! PLEASE??? The new drive is: Nnikimi NIK-XL130A I have tried ever web site possible but none even tell me if the data is forever lost, or if the problem is only in that IC chip. I have some knowlage of electronics and am very advanced in computers, but I dont want to do anything to damage it. I have many other 10G drives but none have the same type of board on it. Can I swap disks without damaging it???? Or use a different type of board??? Please Help. Thankfully - Lee Chappell |

If it is only the drive controller board that is bad, you could replace it with another board that is EXACTLY the same, including firmware revision level. If you can't find a drive like that, there are data recovery services that can probably get the data back for you, but they won't be cheap.
