For those techies I need to borrow the PCB (printed circuit board) of that drive to recover data from a similar drive.
NEED WD400 hard drive - will pay GOOD money!
ok good thing u wrote that second post :p 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.
