No I am not in a wrestling compo with a HDD. I have (stupidly) connecte
my molex AND my SATA power connectors to my WD SATA drive and now m
system won't see it. Actually I don't think it's even spinning up whic
leads me to believe I have toasted the controller card.

Sending it to a data retreival company costs hundreds of pounds. I hav
read somewhere that I could try buying an identical drive and swappin
over the controllers. Do you think this would work? How easy is it t
get them off and back on again?

I even thought about taking advantage of WD's warranty returns syste
which would allow me to get a new drive before sending the old on
back!
