Here's the "post mortem" on that &@%$# failed WD 21000 Caviar HD I've
been talking about. I think it's sick beyond help. I'm stopping for
now.

Today, as I said I'd do, I heated the drive for 7 hours on top of my
monitor. Next I switched it into my Win95 SR2 system as a slave drive
and boot to the recovery floppy. To my excitement it and the master were
recognized in POST. Then quick disappointment. I try the dir D:\ cmd and
it doesn't see a D:. I run the WD Diag pgm. It sees the slave but errors
on an extended test, rasing two dif. error codes that both say in effect
"drive shot, contact WD."

I repeated the above but using it as a single master, same.

Oh well .... Unless I find another like drive for swapping the
electronics, I'm dun w/ this turkey.

Cheers, Peter
