Seagate's web based warranty validator said it could not determine if the drive was under warranty, so today I called Seagate. They confirmed that the warranty expired last January. Since it is not detected in the BIOS there is nothing that can be done via repair and recovery tools. I have all kinds of bootable disk repair CDs, but they are all useless here. The only hope is to install it in another desktop computer with a SATA port, or in an external SATA enclosure and connect it to any computer via USB. If it still cannot be seen, then it is truly history. I have neither a SATA enclosure nor any other desktop computers, so I'll save this for the next Clinic. It's a long shot anyway. In the meantime I'm shopping for a replacement. Does anyone have any good or bad things to say about 3 TB SATA-3 drives, excluding Seagate? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
