dod SG sorry, asking a noob question.I have a 120gb hard disk spoilt.I know it expensive to have it repair, but how much?Is there anyway to repair back for few hours coz i just need to burn it on the cd. The brand is maxtor and its still under warrantly..Thks.
FireIce SG since under warranty then bring to maxtor or the authorised service centre scream and yell that u have important data inside ask him to check wats the prob and whether data can be recovered if cannot then too bad but u get to have a new HDD
ditzy SG If you've been to their factory they throw hdds around like you throw your socks around after you come back from work.
^tamago^ SG yeah. my friend works in a mobile phone company, and they also drop some phones from time to time. lemon set liao…
babymac13 SG Maxtor hard disks are not reilable. I remember some years ago, I bought a 40gb hard disk, it crashed less than a month, I lost many valuable datas inside.
dork3d SG Just check with Maxtor's servicing if your data is retrievable or not, otherwise can request for a new harddisk. Harddisk failure can be due to multiple factors: 1. Motor on harddisk burnt 2. Hardware conflicts causing buffer on harddisk overflow 3. PCB on harddisk faulty 4. Motherboard on PC faulty on the IDE connector to harddisk 5. DON'T GET MAXTOR AS THEIR HARDDISK IS NOT RELIABLE!
mancha SG When you switch on your PC, do not kick the PC/table while it is booting up. These accidental knocks could damage your hard disk. Repair is often uneconomical. Data can be recovered from the disk but it will be costly.
Xcert SG send back for warranty repair and buy another HDD to tide U over if U need a HDD to run ur hardware.Repair normally takes around 3 months. U can say goodbye to ur data.unless maybe U pay.big bucks. btw where did U learn the concept of "repair back for a few hours"?
babymac13 SG How do you know your harddisk is spoilt? To retrieve your data is expensive and the price range depends what is main source that cause your hard disk to fail.
zheshi SG I just accidenlty knock my cpu onto the floor from the table... now have problem starting up liao... Hopefully not the hard disk spoilt
