I always thought of transplanting the platters but never figured how to keep
the work area particle clean. Nice approach.
The drive starts spinning, the heads click a few times, that's it. Almost the
same sound as the IBM DeathStar emits. BIOS won't see the disc so I guess it
could well be the electronics so I'll investigate there first.
If you can find another 20GB Maxtor (same model), then transplanting the
circuit board is usually not that difficult. You don't even have to
expose the platters.
