Re: HDD not found

Well 50% was good and 50% is garbage bound. I guess better than Nada. My theory on why the working drive was seen on the pci card on the other machine may link to my theory of the other computers stock ide controller detecting it differently then the onboard bios on the pci card. One never knows. Who knows how many years it will take for SSD drives to really make an impact and a pricepoint that can compete, but that should end all this config nonsense having hard drives with no moving parts. That is going to be very cool! talk about quiet and for you notebook lovers, a little less power consumption too.

I did find a head crash, and have a few cool pictures of it.

Let me know if you all want to see them, other wise this topic is closed. I could post them as a standalone topic, if the tech guys think that would e better.
