| 1265346 | 2012-03-16 01:50:00 | Get out your backup image. A Knight indeed PC. Lost all of that, my backup system was none existant. The mem sahib is the only one who cares, her garden diary. PC, would I have to take this one out to replace, and will I be able to find a replacement, this at least 3. Oh and what is the name of the app that lets us get what kind of guts are in my computer? |

| 1265352 | 2012-03-16 21:20:00 | Do you know if the drive is spinning up? And have you tried plugging it into another SATA port? | Iantech (16386) | ||
| 1265353 | 2012-03-16 21:57:00 | Make sure you haven't overlooked a cable... 2 cables per drive. Pull them all out and re-attach firmly. I once had a molex (those white 4 pin sods that are often a #$%^&* to unplug) where the connectors had been displaced out the rear of the plug rather than properly 'mating' with their opposite half. Worth checking. See if you can give each of the 4 wires a shove towards the drive. If any of them feel loose or produce noise, then you've got a dodgy contact. Try a differnt plug / cable if you have one. Make sure your IDE ribbon goes from pin 1 to pin 1 (red strip to pin 1 on mobo and hdd). Is the drive jumpered as Master? (IDE) Or is it sharing a cable with another drive (eg CD/DVD also on Master?) |
