Windows is booting... thank you so much everybody!

Help! I got the following (in about 1 second): F3 T>m0,2,2,0,0,0,0,22 Max Wr Retries = 00, Max Rd Retries = 00, Max ECC T-Level = 00, Max Certify Rewr ite Retries = 0000 User Partition Format Successful - Elapsed Time 0 mins 00 secs F3 T> What should I do now? Thanks edit: Gradius' G-List step? If i do V1 in /T i get a whole lot of stuff. edit2: V4 does, however, tell me that there are 0 faults there. What about http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...747#entry833747 ? edit3: OK, so, looking at this post right here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...st&p=838661 I do indeed have alot of stuff showing up in my V1 list, but what's the next step? Does this mean my drive is fixed, or does it mean there are errors? I haven't tried it in my computer yet. edit4: Do I risk losing my drive if i plug it into my desktop computer the normal way and fire it up?

Hi again! I have a one more question on the BSY error. Here are two guides: http://www.mapleleafmountain.com/seagatebrick.html http://sites.google.com/site/seagatefix/ I noticed a certain difference between these two. The first one instructs you to put card stock above the _motor_ contacts, and not over the head contacts. The second guide actually instructs you to do it the other way around, to put card stock above the _head_ contacts. And isn't it even so that the guide in this thread effectively instructs you to disconnect both of them, and not just one of the two? Could anyone please shed some light on this? Is one way of doing it more reliable than the other for some reason? Thanks! /fer

Hi. My drive's got the BSY problem, and I'm going to try the guide in the first post. Do you think that this adapter would work? http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/391 Thanks Edit: Maybe I should go for something like this instead? http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/126
