I thought there was a proggie to let damaged HD's move their "arm", so you could use an old HD for the looks only? That way you only have to sacrifice an ide or sata slot for the very good looking mod.
In my opion the mod is too delicate to try on a recent and still working HD. However, hats off for the brave...
And a great mod, Jort. I wouldn't change the front as it is now.

Great improvement of your case...:ws:

Can you please find that name of that program please, that would be very helpfull.

It seems that only my c: is damaged.
d:, e:, f are still intact.

Does any one knows a VERY good scanning program so i can locate the bad sector and "maybe" insulate it.

Yeah i'll keep on modding my case even i lost some 500€ because i was dragged into the [M]adness.:D

One thin 4 sure, i'll NEVER make that mistake again,
or it must be a very sunny day that w'll convince me again to do that.

:)

yep :super:

for recovery

GetDataBack for NTFS

for insulation, well, I would suggest you remove all data from the disk and do a low level format.

date is recovered,
what is just a low format.
it that something in cmd or just a complete format?

googled it and found a bit info about it.
i'll do it later this day with powermax(utill
of maxtor)

*edit* you beat me to it :)

i have some :mad: news.
wanne to post about 45 min ago, no post

just a windows install of half a day ago.

oke reinstall then, for a reason he doesn't want to install on my 200GB sata.
(c: was not formatted, did something with partition magic.)
because i have a damaged or bla bla c:
so format c, install windows and it WORKS.

thats good news isn't it:ws:

so i'll test some more this evening:king:


thats 1/2 fixed, still 1 to go :super:

hehehe, I'm happy for you jort. Just the thought of loosing some expensive hardware is enough to keep me pondering all night :)

yeah but some very weird stuff is going on here :rolleyes:

I said i format my c: and installed windows on it.
Something is not right here, it is been formatted but no windows on it :^D

So about 1.30 h ago i rebooted and suddenly he saids => ntldr is missing

So i started to do some sleeving, then after that i put my pc on, still the error.
Went into bios changed something about bootdevice (80gb first) and he boots

:puke: wth is that :^D
