Rebuild by
Diesel
I've been lucky so far. I've acquired older systems (with various
issues) that people didn't want anymore. As long as they weren't too
old, I'd take them home, scrap them for viable parts and recycle the
rest. Sometimes, I'd rebuild one and donate it to a church or
daycare center if it's new...

Best thermal compound by
Norm X

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_grease
shows a table where silver is second best behind diamond but gold is not
mentioned.
Opinions?

used before start out with DISKPART from the command line to prep
a USB flash drive (thumb drive). The first step within Diskpart
is List Disk. The first time I used it, there was no problem and
List Disk listed all available disks...

It will not power up at all. It has a new battery, and the indicator

Low level SATA failure? by
[email protected]
Lets examine the low-level physics of a SATA hard-drive.
Surely the C/H/S is fixed, like the ManufctrID, and is read,
even if the device fails to turn?
Is it true that a HD, which is moved while running, experiences
