[RESOLVED] Re: Recovering Journal - How Long?

If hd is toast.. it can't hurt to tap it hard a few times, in the right
ways...

You can lightly tap it while it's trying to boot..?

Off the top.. Why not install the hd upside-down, and try it..?

Or freeze it with freeze spray, but not so much so as to cause snow and
ice to form on cct brds..?

Recite a hard-drive repair-prayer to one of your pretend gods..?

If pops were still alive he'd probably suggest, "do a dance on one foot,
whilst holding the other foot high, in the right hand, whilst singing
frarajoka backwards in tenor"..  but you can't ever believe anything
pops said...

Off the top, Why not open the box, and check that all wire connectors
are properly mated..?

Last idea says the hd has developed bad sectors..   
Me thinks there's software to rewrite onto good sectors what's on bad
ones..?
