Re: Hard drives need a rescure Well, I have an IDE to USB adapter for harddrives... it even has an adapter for laptop harddrives. So you're not completely out of options. One of these adapters can be had for less than 10 bucks on eBay. I would at least try and get them connected to a known working computer, get them to be recognized by the system, and perform some basic diagnostics like chkdsk or some other diagnostics direct from the manufacturers before blowing them away with buck-shot. |
