[WEB4LIB] Data Recovery

[Steve Hooley]

	Angela - try installing the hard drive as a slave drive on another
machine. You generally have to move a jumper or something to tell the drive
not to expect to boot, then it goes on the same ribbon cable that your
'master' hard drive is on. When the master HD boots, it activates the slave
HD as well. If this works you can just use the bad drive as extra space
indefinitely, although I'd avoid using it for crucial data.
