Sometime on Jan 20, jtd assembled some asciibets to say:
Find a similiar drive and replace the controller. It works many a times. Or deep freeze the drive. Grep the list. There is a thread where Philip has described the procedure in detail.
Use an air tight freezer bag, put the disk in, squeeze out as much air as possible, seal and freeze overnight. Make sure you're ready to transfer the data out the next day.
Thanks a lot both of you :) But this procedure seems too risky. I might end up losing my warranty. Besides, there is no guarantee whether it will work or not. And with the way things are going with me, I wouldn't want to take any chances! :(
My new system arrived with a faulty 512MB RAM :( Gotta replace it! Whee :'(
