Ok Good News, and not so bad News. The Good News!!! - It turns out that it is Just the PC Board for my hard drive. I tested the motor with another WD Hard drive and was able to get it to spin up. This means the data can be saved!!!! The not so bad news - Yes... It had to be the exact exact exact same Part number (and sub part number). So I jumped on to ebay, matched the part number, confirmed it with the seller, won the auction and am waiting for the hard drives arrival. It's nearly impossible to find this western digital part number from July of 2002 but I'm glad I was able to get it. One more thing, If you guys are looking for a network backup solution, give the LinkSys NSLU2 a shot. I picked one up for about $49 and attached a USB 2.0 external to it. It's a major help!! One Last thing... When looking for a dependable 5.5V power source for testing a prototype LED board, NEVER use your good PC. I paid the price for that one.... Thanks Charlie |

This thread motivated my to finally put a spare hdd as a backup drive. Got a nice freeware script that seems to be working just fine. Now if my hard drive crashes I'll have you to thank :) |
