....top posting fixed? ok.. confused... how would leaving an external harddrive turned on keep the internal turned on... arent the power and data cables seperate?? if the internal was left spinning (powered) by the power supply in the external box and the scsi bus on this comp still works i would check the power cable...
or... is it the external that is damaged from being left on for a week? (that -still- shouldnt have been a problem... the drive would have just sat idle) either you arent wording this correctly or i have completely jumped the tracks on this one cos i am lost...
