Any hardware techies out there?
I've just had a new 250 Gig hard drive fail on me. Seems to be the result of an old twisted IDE cable. Which lead to NTLDR file becoming inaccesible. I've gone down the google search route to try and diagnose and repair it, but alas it has stayed dead. I've now installed Windows on a new hard drive; set that as master and the old drive as a slave. However I can't see that old drive in my computer, and have to assume that it is inaccesible to my efforts.
My question is, is it possible for a professional pc shop to gain access somehow?
I've recently had to replace this hard drive and retrieve the files from the old dieng hard drive, and I should therefore be able to restore most of the important stuff like music, vids and pr0n. But I will have lost about 6 weeks worth of emails if I can't access it.
