Any one attend lan parties? Well I have a quick question about something that was brought to my attention by my dad... See a few weeks ago I attended a lan party and upon comming home my PC was unbootable I thought the drive was dead as it was not getting detected in the bios, however on another computer I set it up as a slave and couldn't get access to it, however I did manage to format the thing and recover my drive so I can start fresh...I lost all my data though :-(.. Anyway my dad said something about "park the head" he said its where the head of the drive puts its self in the original positiion so that it doesn't move around and get broken when transporting your PC, anyone aware of this?
No announcement yet.

yeah, i've heard of it, with really old hard drive you had to park the head if you were going to move the comp/hard drvie cos if you didn't it would corupt the hard drive
but if it a newer hard drive (last 5 years) the head shouldn't need to be parked

Well, you could try using this program to find files you lost... it works very well....
