at that price I would just junk it and forget it ever happened - if you were in the UK, I'ld send you a working one for free at shipping cost :/

save2600 & tone2600: haha, I just realized. You two are from the States....the land of Blame Culture where a person can purchase a cup of _HOT_ Chocolate from McDonalds advertized as "SCALDING HOT" and yet sue McDonalds for serving it "too hot" when you get burnt.

sometimes you have to take responsibility for your own actions and their consequences

whahaha - I don't entirely agree with you on this occasion - but I DO agree with you on a general point  :-D

I thought non-operating hard drives could take something like 40 Gs these days.  Seems like they shouldn't be all that hard to ship successfully.

on a more serious note as opposed to my last reply.

The dot on the i here is.. TODAYS drives.... I would have a fair guess the drive he was shipped was quite old, and therefore more affected to shocks/shipping
