I knew Conners can be a bugger to get going but what bothers me now is that
when the power cable is connected I cannot hear the motor spinning up. This
is with my ear to the casing of the drive. Cannot put it back in its original
home as this is now fully running a C & D with 1.8gig of space. 
I am hoping this drive isn't totally unrevivable otherwise I am 80 quid out
of pocket and a mate is left fighting a 120Mb drive :-(
