a friend told me it could just be the IDE cable right after i formated (computer would occasionally recognize drive but instead of seeing the 200 gig as "189gb" it would see "181gb" and told me the drive was raw data) .. i just kind of shrugged it off... so tonight i try my roomates ide cable and it works... kinda ticked i didnt listen to the kid in the first place... kinda wanna hurt myself for being so ignorant 🙁
 
don't replace the dollar part...
it couldn't be the cable, get a new hdrive instead, and maybe a new mboard and memmory

Hardware manufacturer's answer to tech support?
 
Wow. That would've taken me 5 minutes to diagnose and cost you $52 ($20 labor + $30 stupid tax (A flat rate on all my repair calls) + $2 IDE ribbon)
 
you cant be too fast at judgement 😛.... originally it was a problem with extremely slow reading from the drive and when sound files were playing and other things loading too it would slow the sound down to a crawling record with your hand holding it back sound.... it started as just a small problem and then the thing just finally blew out i guess
 
I have bad luck with 80 conductor cables, for me they often go bad after being bent/reused a couple times. And the thing is, bad IDE cables cause all kinds of HD related problems.
