How can I tell if this 60gig IBM Deskstar is 15 heads or 16 heads???
There are dual jumper settings listed for each. I recently removed this drive in hopes of tranferring the whole image to another harddrive in my Gateway PC via hi-speed 2.0 USB cable. Well that failed as the USB connection kept getting improperly installed & all the while the IBM kept spinning.
Next I decided to just put the drive back in its orginal pc as master and then the drive failed to be seen again & was spinning.
I can't get it to be recognized as a slave either...not seen in the BIOS either
error msg says:
" media failure, check cable"
I have seen a reference in the forum to 15gig IBM suggesting both drives could be set to CS....
Any advice would be appreciated
thanks
