Tis a sad day....
« on: April 19, 2006, 06:34:44 AM »
My Amiga A1200, is fine, thankfully, but the Harddrive.. which was an original 120Meg bit the dust today.

For the last few days, it has been a bit tempermental, from Read/write error's, Guru's, recoverable crashes, programs just not loading (with no errors), I took the Hard drive out of the A1200 to plug into the PC to back up the contents via Winuae...

The bloody IDE connector came away in my hand, when trying to disconnect from the 2.5" cable, upon magnifying glass connection, the solder was just weakened, probably giving a very rough connection to the solder pads.

As per title, Tis a sad day.

Currently busy backing up the Laptop 40GIG HDD.. so tis a happy day too, A1200 gets a 40GIG Harddrive.
Wife's laptop has NO harddrive right now.
