Ok, here it goes..
I have a seagate beracuda 250 GB hard drive. Which was a primary boot disk in my main pc. The pc itself started having issues (random reboot, crashing Firefox , and other progies.) And now it totally won't boot.
So I've installed another smaller HD with xp pro.
Now what to do about this 250 GB harddisk. It is still under warranty but I would rather not send it off if I can help it. I have hooked it (250GB) to a usb adaptor with power supply and I can see the drive and files on it. But what may have gone wrong is a mystery to me.
Please give me some tips on trouble shooting this hard disk. It is not bootable and when I had it in my pc, it was not giving me any indication that it is spinning. While Trouble shooting this, I removed all other drives, PCI cards, USB storage and such and the only time that I can access the drive is with the universal usb connector with power supply.
Regards.
