ChairmanJay SG now cant read.. but still got light coming out.. the computer can read it anymore, cant detect the drive...
ndmmxiaomayi SG Plug it into another PC and try. If it's IDE hard disk, remember to change the jumper settings to slave, get into BIOS and check that the settings are read correctly. Boot up from the master hard disk and see if it can be detected.
alwaysdisturbed SG never heard of any HDD is in working state after being dropped, regardless maxtor, seagate, wd, hitachi, fujitsu, etc...
