I have had crash nightmares and now take back-ups very seriously.

I have a very old 386 hard drive years of data on it and the controller on the hard drive went..I think. It's an old NEC PowerMate 386 and I am keeping the Hard Drive in case I ever come across another similar one. (not likely)

I am actually going to take it a step more in depth if need be. I am prepared to swap the platters (risky), as I am not 100% convinced it's the hard drive controller on the drive itself. One day I turned it on and the hard drive would not work. It's not the controller built into the motherboard, as that was check with a separate controller card.


BTW
How does your system get proper cooling (air flow) with the case apart (Bob)?
