The hard drive works but it takes FOREVER to boot up. Is the power switch broken? I can't seem to find a disk utility package that will run diagnostics on an external USB drive.

Might be a magnetig problem. The weurdest thing is that it broke down while working, so it cannot be because of an electric choc or smthing like that. Anyway, thanks to these explanations I took off the disc from its lacie porsche enclosure : It's a Samsung spinpoint 500Go model HD501LJ. Samsung is shit. The Hard Drive is SATA type (cool), gonne replace it by a 1Go... but I still lost all my datas. Fucking failing material. Just one thing : Samsung are shit, ok; maxtor are breaking down all the time, seagates Freezes... what kind of hard drives are really cool to use ? thx for the help. HEy guys,

The black brick refuses to open. I tried searching for hours and I cannot find anything on the net. I specially need pics. The little blue light has already gone inside the enclosure by mistake.

Thanks for the tip guys. BTW, mine is a 500GB LaCie Porsche and the hard drive is SATA type. Not all the Porsche disks are IDE. I had a hard time to open the enclosure. Thanks for the tip guys.

All the Porche disks are IDE I think.. :-) And also, the drive did’nt crash, I just needed an IDE-disk :P
