Hi

Please can you post the details of the exact model number this will help me identify what may be wrong.

Also it will have a coloured sticker on the edge of the drive, i will need that to.

Does the drive spin? or is it lifeless?

Hi
I have a Seagate 250Gb s-ata disk that is "dead", from my HP media center pc. I got a pci-card to put into my Fujitsu computer so I could connect the sata-disk. Now my problem is that my Fujitsu-computer won´t start as long as the "dead" drive is connected. How do I get the computer to start with this drive connected?

Thank you

/Jonas
