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. -- Jonny |
