Sometime Today, Dinesh Joshi assembled some asciibets to say:
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! :(
It worked for me on three hard disks from three different manufacturers - Quantum, Seagate and Samsung. Also, you aren't opening the drive, so the warranty won't be voided. Is there a clause in your warranty about operating and storage temperature for the drive?
