[PLUG] Old hard drive laying around?
|
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
My son's G4 Mac died and apparently it's due to the hard drive not working. I
put the drive in an external case and it did not spin-up so I suspect the
electronics board is bad.
I'd like to try swapping the electronics to see if we can get it working. If
anyone has an old Western Digital Caviar WD1800 (IDE) drive laying around and
they'd be willing to donate it or sell it for a small sum you'd make a certain
18 year old music fan VERY happy.
Yes, I know: backup, backup, and backup. I have a shared drive in the house
network and all family members are strongly encouraged to back up their precious
songs, photos, etc. I'm finding out how well the "encourage" model works :-)
TIA
Eric
