I had a desktop crash.the pc shop tod me it was the hardrive, and replaced it. I still have the old one. Question 1 why cannot the disk be replaced.2 how do I retrieve data off the old drive?

The hard disk must have crashed and only professional data recovery service providers can retrieve data from the hard disk. It will cost money and if the data is extremely important then only you should opt for data recovery.

Seagate Barracuda external hardrive - damage to usb connector on

Assuming the drive itself is still ok (it sounds like it would be), then yes, you can put the drive into another case or directly into the motherboard if you know how to do that.

I have a compaq netbook and also an LG gp08 lite super multi drive. when i play regular cd's, the sound works fine but when it comes to dvd's i get nothing. please please help me

I had the same problem - no audio on DVD's with my LG super multi drive. Someone here suggested downloading VideoLan VLC. I did and it solved the problem. But now I wonder how much of the LG stuff I downloaded when I installed the multi drive is still necessary. It was a lot of stuff!

I am trying to install a seagate hardrive with no installation info do i need a disk or can i get info on line

if its a secondary drive you can just put it in your computer and it will ask you to format it and you can go right ahead and do it if your installing an os it will format anyways and you shouldnt need any addtional drivers it should have the drivers and data already on it.

HP DC5000 SFF

Check the cables connection first.

Check if the power supply fan and cpu fan are working
If not you need to replace your power supply.


Let me know how it is going!

This will fix your problem.

No power on psu when Hardrive connected

Yes, I actually experienced it too about 2 months ago. I believe there is short in the board. I have a 200gb barracuda that failed (too soon) and I swapped the boards...just to see what would happen. I was able to recreate the other drives problem and vice-versa. I think if I could get my hands on a working barracuda(if there are any) I could recover my info. curse of the 7200.7's Good Luck, Tim
