It sounds as though your issue is one of in adequate power. Do both the external HDD have their own power source, or are they powered through USB? if they are powered through USB it may be that as soon as the second drive spins up to transfer the files, it overwhelms the limited power of the laptop. You can try it with the laptop plugged in (though this may not provide it with more power than the battery) or by purchasing a usb hub with its own external power source so that it is not drawing power from the laptop, or purchase an external hard drive with its own power source
The other option is simpler and free, and its to copy the files first to your laptops own HDD, then unplug the source external hard drive, and then plug in the drive you want to copy to, then transfer the files from your laptops hard drive. This will of course take twice as long, but will cost you nothing.
Test this out on another computer to see if it does the same thing. If that doesn't work, then send the drive in to Hitachi under warranty because it is failing.
Yes, all IDE 2.5-inch disk-drives use the same pin-out. SATA-interface disk-drives have quite-different interfaces than IDE drives, but all SATA devices share a common interface.
Looks like your HDD is having mechanical problem,
this could happen due to a shock (dropped or bumped maybe?) which can
cause your HDD I/O head loose from its track.
I'm sorry but my advice is prepare a HDD
replacement.
Get yourself an eide/sta to usb adapter. This will let you take a removed HDD from the old computer, attach it to the adapter hub and plug the usb connection into your new computer. Your new computer will read the old one as an external HDD and you can take all the files you want. Most computer retailers and Ebay have them for around 15-20 bucks.
Some details please?
Does the system show any video on the LCD?
Do you hear any Windows Startup Sounds?
Are the Lock lights (Caps Lock, NumLock and Scroll Lock on/flashing?
If you have none of the above, then remove the HDD, Optical Drive, RAM, Modem, external devices/docks and wireless cards and see if anything changes. If nothing changes, thenmost likely a motheboard issue. Replace ment motherboards run $150 to $250 on Ebay
