RE: RE: [WISPA] OT Hard Drive Failure
I have the adapter on the way. I will plug it into my desktop once and run a software recover utility once to see what happens. After this, I will send it off to a cleanroom. If a drive needs cleanroom work... www.mjtdata.com says to send it to www.gillware.com -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sean Gayle Sent: Sunday, November 27, 2005 10:45 PM To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: RE: RE: [WISPA] OT Hard Drive Failure I never asked.
