[EDIT: offer below NOT valid anymore, thanks, I dont need that drive anymore, so please disregard :) ]
Hi
I absolutely need the hard drive with the exact following model:
Western Digital (40GB 5400 RPM)
WD400EB-XXCPF0 (where XX can be any number.)
I am willing to give you a very good offer, read on ...
These drives were manufactured around 2002
To check the model of your drive (win xp or 2000), open "my computer", right click on a hard drive (C:\, D:\, etc..) , go to the hardware tab, and see if this drive model is in the list of hardware.
If your model matches, then I'll give you $30 and borrow the drive for 1 day, then i'll either:
- Give you back your drive and pay you $10 more - that's a total of $40
or
- if I cannot give you back your drive or if you dont want it back I'll take back the $30 downpayment and give you a brand new 80gb 7200rpm instead of your old, slow 40gb drive!
In ANY case, your data is 100% GUARANTEED, I will backup your disk and COPY the data to the new disk. Nothing will be reistalled, not windows and not the programs. Here are the guarantees:
- If I have to reinstall windows, I'll pay you $ 15 more.
- If all your data (files, music, etc..) are lost, I'll pay you $ 150 more... but that will never happen.
I will require to test the drive and to see if it is working before closing the deal.
[EDIT: contact info removed...]
Please pass the message on and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Do not take too much time, the offer may not be valid for more then a couple of weeks.
If you have any idea how to advertise this, please give me a hint!
Thanks

For those techies I need to borrow the PCB (printed circuit board) of that drive to recover data from a similar drive.
ok good thing u wrote that second post lol I was wondering why you needed it
Rolf, why do'nt U slave that drive and retrieve your data??? Just Hook any drive with an operating system on it and set that one to a Master, then take your bummed HDD and set the jumper to slave, so U will be booting from the 1st drive, then try coping or back up the data.

The drive isnt spinning up. The power supply has grilled it.
I need to get it spinning first that's why i need to replace the pcb
