    No, it did not work, seems there are two Autorun.inf files that will not copy over. Looks like I'm going to have to tear this thing apart.

    Ok, I took it apart, hard drive is securely in place, I removed and reinstalled it just to be sure. No joy.

    You can refer to post #18 to see if you can get the data off the drive but if you don't need to get any data off the drive then I would say its time for a new hard drive.
