Help Dead 160gb!!!
hi!
i bought a 160gb hitachi 5400rpm/ide 2.5 laptop drive and have been using it as an external casing since july 2008.my drive fails to be recognized in its casing and with 2 brand new spare casings lying around i can't connect to my pc using usb.
the information in the drive is of critical importance to me--and before you flame me for not taking a backup this hdd was meant for backups and the backup drive(this drive) has gone kaput!!!
is there any other way of connecting it to the computer other than usb?
alos i tried calling the 1800--toll free hitachi number---it says the number doesn't exist--gt it from techenclave forums.
would hitachi recover the data for me??
