Having just posted (at length) about buying a PVR to use with a 'spare'
300 GB HDD in an external USB box that I have here, I have *walked
through* its sodding power lead and sent it flying! Now it (the HDD
itself) goes like this when I switch it on:

...and the computer doesn't see it.

It *is* fuct isn't it....??

(Never heard an HDD make a noise before!!)

Any clues, before I start pounding it against a wall to *reactivate*
it..??
