I have a latop that needs to be sent in for service. I purchased a LAPTOP to IDE Adapter cable to get some data off of the hard drive before I send it off to be repaired (since they may reformat my drive).
I inadvertently set my jumpers incorrectly, and according to the Hitachi documentation for my drive, I have grounded PIN C which makes the drive not spin on POR.
The drive is a Hitachi 80GN 40GB drive.
Anyone out there know if this is a 'fixable' issue, or am I dead?
Thanks much!
