What about Russians or Chinese?

Just redeemed the Dirt 3 code. I bet it's an epic download...

*Signs up for Steam*

[Inferno.]

Also considering this PC is running an IDE hard drive it's pretty fast and snappy.

IDE HDD's arnt so bad really they do the job fine for general use stuff

I have a 60GB 2.5" SATA in the tower too.

I wish I kept all those SATA HDDs I had last year... 1TB x2, 2x400GB

[Inferno.]

Dirt 3, 11GB at 1MB/s, until I get capped. I think I'll pass on that till later.

Be glad that Steam has a backup system so you can write a copy to DVD's

So one of my uncle's hard drives died yesterday. It was in the case, I removed the old motherboard and put the new one in. Booted into Windows (after reinstalling on the SSD) and his 1TB Samsung HDD was just dead. No power goes to the drive anymore. I've tried it through an external caddy and in my PC as well and just nothing. It doesn't receive power. Anyone got any ideas?

It was working perfectly until I changed the motherboards around and now it won't work at all.

Put your ear to the drive and power it, does it make any sound at all?

Nope.

[Kouen Hasuki]

Nope.

Sounds like the controller board may be faulty.

You got options however. You might be able to find the same model drive's PCB on eBay (or a faulty drive with damaged platters inside the PCB would still be good) and switch it that's been known to recover drives in the past but will void warranty.

Or you could RMA it to Samsung for replacement but they wont try to recover the data (providing it still has some warranty left). They normally take it in plug it in to make sure its really dead and then send you a refurbished drive (at least in my experience with Seagate that's what happens)

[Inferno.]

Just had a look on the Samsung site and it's confusing as fuck, also takes you to Seagate.

I'm not sure how old the drive is, I think around 2009 at the earliest. Can't remember where he bought it from, but I'm positive it was OEM.
