Hi
I got an ibm 40gig 7200rpm about 2 years ago, the date on the disc sez oct 2001.
Anyway the other day on booting the pc hung on detecting ide drives and there was a knocking sound from the above drive. The disc spun up thou.
Anyway I took it out, splapped it round a bit and put it back in.....
Hey presto wotking again. I'm thinking jammed arm thingy.
Question 1 is could this be caused by a loose ide cable or is it on the way out.
Question 2 is will it still be underwarranty. If so how/where do I go to try and claim on it.
Appreciate any help
