hi you could try putting it back in the laptop and use ubuntu livecd to transfer data to a usb device
Data retrieval from Fujitsu Amilo laptop (Toshiba HDD)
Hello Forum, :wave:
Having problems at recovering data from a HDD belonging to a Fujistu Amilo laptop. Toshiba 2.5" HDD (Toshiba MK3201GAS). :upset:
The OS (windows ? ???) is corrupt with COE for Windows XP. We can only assume this is Windows XP.
Anyhow I wish to rescue the data before I reinstall the OS with something else - probably Ubuntu. :wink:
Thought nothing of it and put HDD into disk enclosure.
No new drive shows post connection to another computer.
Reading on Toshiba website, it is in master mode @ the mom. Grabbed jumper from 3.5" HDD and attemtped to change to slave - NOK. Can a jumper from a 3.5" be used on a 2.5" HDD?
Has anybody ever encountered similar problems with Toshiba HDD and if yes, how did you resolve?
Awaiting in anticipation.
I fear the HDD is protected (fail-safe) when extracted from the laptop . . .
Cheers for now - heading to the beer fridge.
