Well it certainly work work in your hands unless you are wearing a XYBR portable computer! LOL Or you got a serial port somewhere...

OK mechanical damage is bad. You know what. You only asked for research links so I'm going to quit trouble shooting your computer and shut up. The excellent people here will provide all the research links you want. How's that? BEtter I'm sure. You just got it running again so I'm sure you don't want to open it again.

Good luck. A whole page of resarch links was posted last week so it should be easily found within the last 1000 messages or so! LOL

Good luck.

Mark,
I think you can take your old hard drive.. Bang it on the table a couple times to loosen up the bytes.. Then hold it over a paper cup or somthing.. carfully pour out the bytes.. then take the cup of bytes.. tip your computor on an angle and pour the loose bytes into either the floppy drive or open the coffee cup holder and pour them in there.. If there are a few loose ones lying around, it's a good idea sometimes to use some canned air and blow them all in.
Sorry, I'm a day late with this information..
Mr. Fixit
