[QUOTE="84Marquis, post: 1104875, member: 170539"] Yep, something is goofy with the hard drive. I removed it from the mac and put it in an external drive enclosure to see if i could get any info from it. When i hook it up, the drive spins up to speed and everything sounds normal. The drive doesn't show in finder, but is listed in disk utilities. If I try to create an image of it, i get an error message right away. Tried the seagate data recovery/ disk utility program with the same results. Do the PCB's on hard drives ever go bad? If i got another circuit board from the exact same model drive and put it on, could that possibly solve my problem? This is my first time having to work on a hard drive issue, learning quite a bit though. Since this has been determined to be a hardware issue, a mod or admin might want to move this thread out of the software forum. [/QUOTE]
