Dead meat

What you’re looking at is a 180GB Firewire hard drive filled with files of documents, images, etc and it appears to be dead. Hmmm. the drive will not spin-up and doesn’t make any noise. Been like this for a couple of days now and I’ll probably have to open up the case and swap the drive into another firewire case to see if that makes it work. Otherwise it’s gonna be a real bummer. Is that why IBM sold their hard drive division to Hitachi?
