Obviously buying a new drive for a discounter would be better. The only drive places that I know are in Simi Valley, CA and Moorpark, CA. Both advertise in the Computer Shopper. As far as I remember, neither do IDEs... I don't know why? Also, since it sounds like the only thing that is good on the drive will be the heads (maybe) and the electronics, I don't think it will be cheaper to refurbish. Best to try and sell the electronics to someone locally and buy a new drive. -- |Tom Barrett (TDBear), Sr. Engineer|tom.barrett@amd.com|v:512-462-6856 | |AMD PCD MS-520 | 5900 E.
