Hi Gang, I (Still) have a old dead laptop HDD that I pull out every now and then and try to access the files. I have purchased an adaptor which allows it to plug into a desktop pc, and found information on how to set it as a slave by the use of jumpers. That seems to be where the problem comes in. My question is: Are there different size jumpers for laptops, and desktops? I am referring to the little plastic cover that goes over the pins. The ones I have do not seem to fit the smaller pins on the laptop. Next question: If they are indeed different, where would I find the ones to fit the laptop HDD?
As it stands, using the jumpers I have now, my desktop refuses to boot, citing primary HDD failure...even when I have the jumpers to the laptop HDD set to slave, or CSEL. Thanks, Marlene PS: Sending it off for data recovery is just too expensive :-(, and not an option at this point. ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
