My wife came in last night, sad that she was getting "No hard disk found, contact support". I gave it a quick look, found no problem and sent her out with mine. This unit has had its IDE cable replaced. It was cold, so I hoped that might be it. Nope. Today I powered it up and still no dice.
So I opened my spare, swapped the drive cradles, and the spare sees both drives. I sent her off with that, put "hers" back together with the cradle fromt he spare, and it can't see that. I still need to flash a stock kernel on to be sure, and then I guess it gets a trip to the UK. A shame it didn't fail last week, or I could have shipped it to Cambridge from London
