Why oh why do they put two types of power socket onto Western Digital HDD's. That's right, I've just connected the molex and sata power up together and guess what, HDD is not responding on boot!! I don't think it's even spinning!!
I have read that it may be possible to swap over the controller circuit board from an identical drive....this would be a lot cheaper than sending the drive for data recovery. Has anyone ever done this succesfully? If so was it easy enough?
I suppose the lesson to be learnt (yet again) is don't fiddle inside the box with a couple of beers inside ya!
