hi have a Hitachi Deskstar HDS728080PLAT20 7200rpm hard drive which has been in use for 1.5 yrs. recently i detached it and tried to attach it to another system [in another city] as a slave [tried both primary and secondary channels] but it did not get detected. after some time the primary hard drive [same model] on the host system also refused detection. tried attaching it onto a third system but that did not work either. can anyone suggest a possible diagnosis or a solution?
IMO, the drive has gone bad. Thats because, it couldn't be detected on 3 running systems. I guess, sending it for repairs is the only way out. But all the data might be lost forever. If other members have any other suggestion, they are more than welcome.
looks like ,Drive gone mad.Better show to any expert.read my last post in this thread
