All you have to do is buy a copy on US Ebay and have it shipped here .... too easy. Or better yet, the gay classification (or lack thereof) makes it almost legitimate for us to pirate/torrent the game

Hey guys, Ive got a really weird problem. I have just changed ISP's and my email doesnt work anymore.... Not 1 setting on the PC was changed (because I use ethernet), and the email I use is Hotmail with Windows Live Mail as the program... WTF?!?

Might be coincidence you say? The bigpond email wont work on my laptop either, which is connected by wi-fi using Windows Mail.

Kinda baffled here :(

1. What Firmware is it running? Should be printed on the top...pray to god it isnt the faulty batch of SD15 drives - they shouldnt have been released in Australia anyway, but grey importers, etc bring them in.

2. Have you tried a different SATA cable and SATA port?

3. Have you tried resetting the BIOS.

4. +1 Does the drive spin up at all, or make any weird noises?

Nothing too much you can really do with hard drives. Sometimes you can change the controller card, but you need one from a working exact same model and firmware drive, even then it isn't guaranteed to work. You can try a data retrieval place, if the data means that much too you, but be prepared to pay ~$1000 or more - They take the drive apart in a special chamber, take the spindle out, and place it into a spindle reader.

He cant get into Windows as the 1tb drive is his C: Drive - The drive Windows is on, and the Bios doesn't see it.

1. Firmware = SN04

2. Yep, and other drives work off of the same cable and port.

3. Nope, but the issue is that sometimes the PC will hang during the POST, and the BIOS always fails to recognise 2 of the other drives when this drive is plugged in = not good and also strange.

4. The drive does spin up, and with no weird noises, so that's something.

I'm fairly sure if I had access to another drive with the same f/w rev (or maybe even different f/w) the board could be swapped and the drive would work.

heh nice. they should also put in an 'infidelity timer' so if u take too long playing with the whores, elin nordegren pops up with a golf club and its your job to evade her, make your way to the black SUV and drive out of the gated community to south central LA, where another whore is waiting...

too bad tiger didnt take notice of the timer
