| 300069 | 2004-12-06 17:22:00 | Try Maxtor's Powermax utility - it creates a floppy that will do an intensive analysis of your hard drive. I've put a copy up here (http://zulu.orcon.net.nz) | Greg S (201) | ||
| 300070 | 2004-12-06 18:33:00 | It's knackered If it's not seen by the BIOS then it probably won't be seen by any utilities either Time for a new one. DSE has got new 80GB for about $98 |

| 300072 | 2004-12-06 18:50:00 | Greg, Any speculation is good, already tried power max, no go, this one was trying to recover lots of file allocation units, before the cat pulled the wires. Might have been bad any way, just hate throwing 50 in the bin without trying something. Have woman = have cat = have damage = might be time to send woman away. D. |
