Umm, Paul, the problem is that I have to get power to the hard drive and connect it to something with a working CPU to run dd so that is not an option until I find a way of connecting the (what is now clear is SATA) drive to one of my existing systems. The laptop itself is completely dead. Maybe it is a simple soldering job to repair something fried by the suspected power spike but there is no electrical activity of any kind within the laptop case, only at the power connector AFAICT. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
