Hello People,
I hope everyone is haveing a great weekend!
1. I saw a hard drive for sale, awhile ago, which said "It boots to c
prompt and is autodetected but I cannot format the drive." etc.
Is this a simple possible fix or symptoms of a more serious nature? I
mean, If I could pick up this 2.1 gig drive for, say, 10 dollars or so
what could I expect ? To throw it away? Sorry so vague, just looking
for suggestions as to what this might be.
2. and another hard drive which spins up, autodetects, but then gives a
"Write Protect Error" I believe it was a WD 3.2
3. Last question, Has anyone bought a used hard drive and tried to send
it in under warranty? I mean, do the biggies (WD, Seagate, Maxtor, etc)
honor warranties from others than the original purchaser?
I need to quit looking at these online auctions. ha ha
Thank you very much for any comments. I know I should just buy new ones
and so forth but sometimes it's nice to pick an extra drive up just for
kicks.
