Just going back to the hard drive problem I had where my mate opened the WD case and was able to hook up to the internal workings of this hard drive and in doing so found that all the data was intact,and he then went on to clone this data to another hard drive, Wellhe has come up with a further option and that is as he has determined that the internal workings of the hard drive was intact he was then able to obtain a new case/enclosure for this 1tb hard drive for a cost of $36 which makes it a much better deal than buying a brand new 1 tb Wd hard drive which I guess would not leave you a lot of change out of $120. so if any one has a problem with their hard drive not being recognised by their computer just prise the case open and hook the internal drive up to determine if you have not lost your data and if not go to your computer workshop and get them to order a new case for you,or even better you may be able to order one direct from WD.You're right there igg, everyone makes a mistake now and then. If you can't handle that, pretty soon you won't have any friends. Besides, you and your mate probably shared a few beers during the few hours work, so it wasn't a complete loss anyway. Also, I'm glad to hear you were able to recover your daughter's songs for her even though you don't care for her taste in music. Hopefully, she'll remember that on Father's day.
So there you go and that is my helpfull hint for the week so just put the cheque in the mail (as if)
