Default Controller or Hardware Defect

Hi,

I have a Quantum "Fireball" 1.2GB HDD that went
bad. I got a message regarding a problem with the
"controller". I swapped the controller (same controller)
from a similar HDD and I still get the same message.

I am trying to recover some files on the HDD. Could
a hardware fault cause a controller error message?

Thanks in advance, Brad

Before you type your password, credit card number, etc.,
be sure there is no active key logger (spyware) in your PC.

In reality, the ide controller for a ide hard drive is on the physical hard
drive. MS chooses to refer to the ide controller as the I/O chip on the
motherboard that passes ide data as the ide controller. At least its that
way in 95, 98, 98SE, and Millenium editions of windows.
