The hard drive disk isn't spinning at all. I am going try tonight anyways. I also lost the scripts required for faucet payouts but I can reprogram a basic version in a little over an hour. As soon as I am done that I have to go to the local Bitcoin shop, purchase some NyanCoin with it and hand it out to the people at the faucet that are kindly waiting. I hope to accomplish that in the next six hours. It really is aweful.
So, is the hard drive picking up and it seeing the size in the bios of the machine it is in? If those two are correct there is a chance that is still functional. What have you tried in terms of recovery of files up to this point?
I deal with failing drives a fair bit so i know a little bit lol. If you want some insight send me a PM
I start up the computer and I get a no hard drive detected error, the disk isn't spinning or anything.
I have a usb to Sata adapter which I hope might make it work..
I have terrible luck with computers this week, my expensive half a year old i7 died last week because the circuit board got fried,
Now my hard drive fails in this one. I am figuring it is better to buy a computer off kijiji.ca for the same price as it is to buy windows 7...
Off for the hunt. My work depends I have a laptop.
If it is not powering up it might be the circuit board on the hard drive itself, if you had an same model you might be able to swap them... but thats not really all that useful for you i am assuming lol.
I have actually put HDs in the freezer to give them a few minutes of life to grab an important file or two lol.. i think it has to do with shrinkign the metal temporarily :p. I think this doesnt help you much though either cause it doestn seem like a contact issue.
