USB hard drive adapter....You can get them 10 bucks & up
[2012-05-07 09:01:12] Kg277 - ...sssssssmmmmmmeeeewwwwwwhhhhhkkkkkk'ddddd!
[2012-05-01 23:43:14] pyadozierha - what is the ...what is the adaptors that you used for that hard drive?
[2012-04-24 01:42:22] jerryg50 - It's best to keep ...It's best to keep current backups of the system and all the user data. This way when a drive fails, you simpy install a new drive and then do a data recovery. Jerry G.
[2012-04-21 20:58:18] mswindowsinside - tird = a piece of ...tird = a piece of shit. But anyway, you need a special screwdriver for harddrives to torque the screws tight enough. That's for sure
[2012-04-07 20:19:49] CenCt5Driver - true dat the funny ...true dat the funny thing is he didn't fix the problem...
[2012-04-07 20:17:50] CenCt5Driver - Pretty damn sure ...Pretty damn sure you don't have them torqued right. Not an assumption.
[2012-04-01 23:20:08] MicrosoftsourceCode - I am sure one way ...I am sure one way of knowing if your hard drive is on the way out is when auto defrag always leaves a few red coloured sectors and you get corrupt system restore files that make is hard to do a restore.
[2012-03-31 15:47:26] SizzlechestXXX - Why is "Second ...Why is "Second Copy 2000" so great? Doesn't it just copy files? What special features does it have that robocopy, which comes with Windows, can't do?
[2012-03-20 09:06:27] misse9000 - you screw in to ...you screw in to match
[2012-03-17 03:22:44] DCzAnE679 - The reason it does ...The reason it does that is not because of of improperly torqued screws, only the cover screws need to be torqued. The reason is that on most new hard drives, the circuit board, that u swapped out, actually store data for the positioning for the read head, so when u swap it out, the hard drive does not have the correct information for the head, and the data cant be read.
[2012-03-13 03:00:13] kleetus92 - Sounds more like a ...Sounds more like a bearing going out... which depending on how it goes out, will send little metal chunks all through the drive, and that will totally screw it. I hate to say it, but the first thing wrong with that drive is it's a seagate. I've never had any luck with them... from the old MFM or RLL drives, to IDE and I gave up after that. Good info for the company selling replacement driver cards though!

[2012-03-02 03:47:25] RTGxSilent - I haven't even had ...I haven't even had this prob but I do know that it is just because the torque isn't right dumby
[2012-02-28 02:36:18] motorboy171 - No hes absolutely ...No hes absolutely right, when you screwed on the back you didn't have the right toque
[2012-02-21 12:31:51] sweetgyy - sounds like you ...sounds like you have mice for plates
[2012-01-21 09:00:30] LatinPercussion - Where did you ...Where did you purchase the USB2.0 to IDE/SATA ? I need to order couple of these with LEDs on it too hope I'll get to salvage some trapped files in old HDD :) Thanks for your usfull vids!
[2012-01-20 11:20:25] SsSHardt - Wrong. the sound ...Wrong. the sound you get from your HDD is becouse you have no torch controll. you need the r ight pressureand it should work fine!
[2012-01-16 22:23:30] ZincoZ4ever - how many hard ...how many hard drives do you need
[2012-01-16 15:26:45] Lukeno52 - I assume you mean ...I assume you mean they never made hard drives for the IBM PC, because IBM most certainly did make hard drives.
[2012-01-16 04:56:27] IamFalah - derp derp derp derp ...derp derp derp derp.. la herp derp?
[2012-01-16 04:42:42] greatestunknown - Torquing is not ...Torquing is not necessary for the screws holding the PC board in place. Precision is only essential for the screws securing the hard drives enclosure. In this case, only the PCB was changed. The torque on the hard drive itself is factory set and unchanged. I learned a long time ago in Engineering, an observed symptom does not always mean there can only be one cause. :) .
[2012-01-16 04:30:20] greatestunknown - Incorrect ...Incorrect assumption. You know what "assume" does. See the reply in the post above for a more likely technical probability.
[2012-01-16 04:24:45] greatestunknown - tird ?tird ?
[2012-01-16 04:22:50] greatestunknown - There is a lot of ...There is a lot of talk about torque. Let me explain the principal of torqued screws: Torqued screws don't change, that is exactly why they are torqued. These screws were never messed with.The sound from the hard drive is the head struggling to read the data, in this case from and electronic failure. For example, a shorted winding or a loose winding from a loss of lamination will cause the same symptom, which can be caused by overheating due to a circuit failure.
[2012-01-08 22:27:01] WoodyBoy1992 - the reason why the ...the reason why the HHD is rattling like that is because the screws arnt set to the right torque
[2012-01-08 00:37:47] bagheadbaby - the reason why it ...the reason why it is making that squeeking noice is because when you have screwed the drive back together the screwed are not tight enough or lose enough they have to be at the right toque :~)
[2011-12-15 22:33:45] the731272 - what seagate did ...what seagate did was introduce the first hard drive in the 5.25 inch form factor. they in no way invented the hard drive but i will give you the form factor invention. and i can tell you copied that right off the wiki... good source of knowledge. (not gunna bash you for that :P)
[2011-12-14 02:33:33] HelmetVanga - Seagate was the ...Seagate was the first company to come up with a HDD for the first IBM PC. IBM never manufactured HDD for PCs. Seagate acquared the following Companies but Western Digital not being one of them Maxtor (May 2006) MiniScribe acquired by Maxtor in 1990 Quantum Corp's hard disk drive division acquired by Maxtor in 2000 Digital Equipment Corporation's storage division acquired by Quantum in 1994 Conner Peripherals (1996)
[2011-12-14 02:08:08] the731272 - western digital did ...western digital did not get bought out. and the hard drive was invented my IBM in the 50's
[2011-12-12 10:50:13] svf628 - common problem on ...common problem on some of the Maxtor and Seagate PCBs. Easy fix. But this drive sounds like the read heads are coming too close to the platter surface making those chipping noise. Or the bearing may be an issue where the platter spindle may have popped out already.
[2011-12-09 19:52:15] IamFalah - you can make the ...you can make the old one run new... but you didn't torque the screws properly.. you're gonna fry the one you just fixed also
[2011-12-09 03:33:58] linuxaddict11111 - doesn't matter ...doesn't matter when only changing the board
[2011-11-24 01:03:04] IamFalah - you don't have the ...you don't have the screws torqued properly you tird...
[2011-11-23 01:51:36] AkeemKN - Samsung is decent ...Samsung is decent too, but with the floods in Thailand all the prices are stupidly high.
[2011-11-20 03:13:31] HelmetVanga - @paparoach351 ...@paparoach351 Seagate actually is the bes HDD maker, It is Seagate that invented the HDD for the original IBM pc, Maxtor, Scribe, Wester Digital, Fujitsu, etc were born after Seagate, Seagate bought wester digital not long ago...
[2011-10-31 19:46:14] djtheextremegamerpro - I have a Western ...I have a Western Digital Caviar Blue 320GB Sata II Hard drive. It works for my needs
[2011-10-30 16:36:37] KingMacintosh - @ ...@djtheextremegamerpro Oh yeah, and if you think I'm a Seagate shill or I buy or praise only one brand, you also have another thing coming at you.
