Hello Fujitsu Siemens Fans,
SAMSUNG SP0411N [Hard drive] (40.06 GB) drive 1 has suddently, without any physical intervention, lost half pin and the system lost contact even with the other healthy drive 0. I took out both drives and found the damaged pin. When detaching the faulty drive the system restarts properly and the Boot INI had to be reconfigured.
My first question is this: Can this drive be repaired by adding some copper wire to facilitate the contact or else:?:
My second question is: To replace the faulty drive I purchased this MAXTOR 250gb and by installing XP Pro and running it the HD makes frequent crrrr....cr.... vibration/metallic sounds unlike the previous original very silent HD and the current 80GB.
A part from the disturbing noises the HD works fine and the entire package is properly installed, though the drive has been taken our.
Can someone of you help with with advice or suggestions . Thank you very much!
Cheers!
