Solve : problem with HD? |
|
Answer» HI people, second post, this time its a prob with my comps HD. I just recently transported a HD of mine from overseas and when i built my new comp here and attached the old HD (i slaved it) the system just wouldn't power on. i see the fan jolt but that's it, without the HD connected the system powers on and etc. now what i'm wonderin is why the system doesn't power on, i mean if the HD can't be detected or soemthing wouldn' the system still be powering on? or could there be something in the power plug of the HD causing the power flow to the rest of my comp to stop. i have lost almost ALL of my mp3's and movies which i have kept in there for so long, i REALLY need this data for i DJ from time to time and need my playlists and mixes that i created. even more pressure is that my freakin ipod (@##$%@ APPLE!!!) has also had a HD failure meanin it too will be formated to fix the problem and taking along ALL of my mixes along with it. so please GIVE me some advice on what to do, is there a way i can open it up or have it repaired? thanks noobleswhat is the model and make of your drive? I've never heard of a hdd causing a system not to boot, but hey.. I learn something new everyday... You say it's from overseas? Does it use the conventional power reqs?Ayt, i checked the HD and its a 40 gig barracuda 7200.7. i believe it uses normal power reqs and yea i bought it from overseas while i was there (philippines, but i think its made in china or some *censored*). anyways a friend of mine told me to TRY pluggin it in those external casings so maybe that may help. what you think?If a drive won't work from the IDE channel, there's even less chance of it working from a cradle. Disconnect all other drives in the system, set this one to master or cable select and pop it on the primary channel on it's own. What happens now? |
