Aside from that, it might also just involve a slightly dislodged connector/plug in hard drive housing, which is less of a permanent issue, but anyway. And, this is all just my 2c worth, since might not be relevant at all...<smile> Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA '...fate had broken his body, but not his spirit...' ----- Original Message ----- From: "kimsan" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, September 01, 2011 4:45 AM Subject: [Blind-Computing] external hd working again lol > Hi, > > I had a situation where I dropped my external hd.
