I know this is a bit late but...

I'm amazed I never thougha bout tellying you this earlier when I found it it died o.O

If you still have the drive, freeze it. Freezing it will acctually break the drive, yes, but it will also fix it temporarily, so it will work as a slave for long enough to get the information you need.

O.o And yes, I knew about this solution before you told me about freezing drives a few days ago.

As soon as you said IBM...I was like....OH MY GOD MY EYES!!!

IBM's are like the biggest load of bullshit there is...Its more suited for major buisness and such, the motherboards get corrupted easily as well as the Ram...and the monitors burn out in a matter of 3 months...

I know this cause my school is loaded with them...We use them, and im all the time fixing the damn things...While getting extra credit...

But yeah, in my logic...Theres no hope unless you know how to operate on it...Im sure "if your lucky" you might be able to see a noted problem...and hopefully you might be able to fix it...Who knows...maybe that one time when you punched it it might have moved the reader a couple of degrees...hard Drives hate sudden movements...unless you have an RX 8900 like I do...

All I can tell you is operate on it...what do you have to lose?

Putting the Hard Drive into a slave is easy, you just need to follow the instructions on the HD case itself...There are these little clips that you can insert on the....IRG (sp?) port of the HD...I dunno if its called an IRG...but its something like that...its the cause of turning the hard drive into a slave or not...

Ill see if I can find a picture of it to show you...im sure Hobo can explain it better than I can



Lol, dont worry ive tried... the drive is dead, I was talking to my boss about it asking him if he could help out and stuff.. but it turns out that the drive I had has had a series of problems, one of them being that it will die

what it does... it revs up so you think it's loading or something, then it starts clicking like it's missing something, you then get a drive read error, it wont even load windows.

the drive I had was a 27 gig IBM Deskstar, more like IBM DeathStar.. >.<

also I know how to set slave drives up.. you take the pin in the back of the drive and put it in position where it says slave, then you make sure there is no pin in the master at all.. or put it in the master slot..

so yea

Aside from checking Wikipedia....

Try a Google Scholar search.

Well.. some of you may know that my hard drive died a few days ago, and unfortunetly I had a very important paper on it. I cant seem to get it off the hard drive and now im pretty much screwed on graduating on time if I dont get the paper in soon, my english teacher isnt really cutting me any slack on it either.

What I ask.. Could anyone find links to any site that's lagit and gives info on computer technology and it's affects on the world today, If anyone could help me out it would be great. for those of you who know how hard it is to get info that's good and well kept is hard now adays, so you might feel my pain. I need at least 10 sources for the paper,

like I said, any help would be great.. if I dont get this done I wont be graduating =/
