Hi all.
Sorry it's only 5 years old, but I'm trying to find an Fujitsu 10Gb
IDE hard drive, model MPG3102AT, in order to rescue data off the one
I have here. I gather that these have a fairly common fault that
something in the board goes, causing it to disappear as far as the PC
is concerned. We had a power cut this morning, and when it came back
on, the drive wasn't found...
I've already tried swapping it with the apparently identical board
off a MPG3204AT however that's a 20Gb drive, and it just clunks a lot
when on this mechanism; presumably there is a setting somewhere that
means it's looking for more heads or something. Sadly, I'm not up to
component level or firmware debugging on these things.
Unfortunately, speed is of the essence here.. so if there's anybody
in the UK with one of these, surface condition immaterial, that would
be willing to let it go, please get in contact. Naturally I'll cover
any costs, collect, replace with something similar or bigger, etc.
Once i've got my data, you can even have it back..
Cheers,
Rob.
