I just found out about the site http://www.300dollardatarecovery.com/ and wondered if anyone here had used it. He claims to be able to fix about 90% of failures for a flat rate of $300. If he can't fi ... |

I'm wondering if I should risk running SeaTools on my dead Seagate drive, considering that I want to have recovery done on it. Is this likely to damage the disk more? The Seagate warranty/service page ... |

I'm just wondering if it makes any difference to a drive's useful lifetime whether it is left mounted or unmounted most of the time (assuming it's powered up in either case). E.g. could you stretch ou ... |

Match your PCB number and transfer ROM chip, this of ... |

I forgot to mention: my dead hard drive's PCB has "100398689 REV A" printed on it. Maybe of the donors I'm looking at have slightly different numbers, like "100398689 REV C" or "100398688 REV A". The ... |

My second Seagate drive just died, so I'm again looking for donor drives and/or PCBs. I'm wondering what information has to match, though. My dead drive's specs:

How much data did you recover? All of it? If so, I would say just give up on it and replace it. |

What do you mean the PCBs are different?
I also tried a PCB with a different firmware on my 7.01 drive. It didn't work, but then (as I mentioned in another thread) a 7.01 PCB didn't work either.

Do you have a Windows install disc? Or a system restore disc? If so, use it. Otherwise, you will have to buy a new one. Sometimes when you buy new hard drives you can get Windows bundled with them for ... |
