I Should..........
I really should post to this more often, I do find it very therapeutic at times, other I find it as a task that I could or could not do and the later mostly wins out.
But thats ok, about 2 weeks I had my 250GB drive in my Linux box die on me. I had finally come to live with the fact that I couldn't bring it back to life. The other day at work we had a drive of the same exact size and from the same manufacturer crash, the platters were damaged I think. Well I had heard that I could change circuit boards on drive of the same size and same manufacturer and if the board was not the issue from the other drive that it could resurrect a non-powering drive. Well I did this and my god if it didn't work and now I'm a very happy camper and I have my 250GB drive back.
