In the beginning of January, Allan Odgaard managed to short circuit his harddisk. His hope is that someone has an identical harddisk, from which he can borrow the control print to restore his data. "The model is a Seagate ST3660A and the drive parameters are 1057CYL-16HEADS-63SECT-545.5MB." Also see his original message.

Seagate ST3660A needed : Comment 1 of 34 | ANN.lu |
Posted by PaulT on 16-Jan-2001 23:00 GMT | Things must be slow here for Christian (apparently a good-hearted person) to bother with another luser who didn't have a backup and wants someone to go to a ton of trouble for a $30 hard disk. I'd suggest that Mr. Odgaard spend his time to assemble a list of reputable data-restoration companies who handle this sort of problem all of the time, who know what they're doing, and who charge realistic rates for their specialized expertise and equipment. When he finds out that businesses pay lots for critical data recovery, and that he's asking for a tough task, he will either pay the money, or he'll quit wasting our time and buy a new disk and use the time restoring his software to it.
Basically he's saying he will buy any disk of that model from you in exchange for a much better one, so that he can ruin a second one trying to transfer the drive electronics over. "Borrow the control print"?? If you happen to have one, hold out for a nice fast 20GB one at least, for your trouble. |
