TheHalf Posted March 26, 2006 CID Share Posted March 26, 2006 Simple, you are on a network and did not disconnect from the hub...thats mistake number 1 and the only fault you made. Try again and disconnect the hub or any crossover switch you have.

DoomLord Posted April 6, 2006 CID Share Posted April 6, 2006 Check your power cable for voltage.If you have power,with no pins broken,and the platters aren't spinning,your drive is dead.You may have to send out the drive for recovery,if the data is really important.If you do get the drive to spin up,check the data cables,and motherboard and drive headers to make sure no pins are damaged.

DoomLord Posted April 6, 2006 CID Share Posted April 6, 2006 Thanks,Jamaicarocks. It almost sounds like you have some corrupt files.This may have happened when you shut down after it started to reformat,and that's when your old drive crapped out.Did you do a clean re-install of your O.S. & app's and then restore the data?
