Ok, well I had to reformat because something screwed up and all my stuff was backed up onto the maxtor external hard drive. Sods law decided to take over and the hard drive broke at exactly the same time as the computer did. When I put the power cable in the little green light flashes and I can hear the hard drive spinning up, then after about 5 seconds it stops and nothing happens.
My questions are:
- Does anyone have any idea what's going on with it and if it can be fixed?
- If it can't, can i break open the casing and just shove it into the computer? What sort of connections is it likely to use it use? Its definately a 3.5" drive, I don't know the model of it though, it was from Argos so their site might have it.
Thanks in advance :)
