Hi All
just a quick post to gauge the feasibility of restoring an old Hard Disk from a 5200. It hasn't been spun up in a while and when we tried it (the rest of the computer seemed to work fine), the HD sounded very squeaky. The Mac was unfortunately unable to boot from it.
I've read somewhere that re-lubing it might be an option. Is there much else I can do?
The HD itself has a few applications on it that i've been unable to find on-line so I'm hoping it might be possible to get them off there and onto the Garden although it's not the end of the world if the disk is completely humped
