Looking for Maxtor Model #96147H6 80Gb Hard Drive

Dec 29, 2004 11:23PM PST

I purchased an HP 8870 Computer about 3 years ago. This past summer we had problems with the hard drive and I believe that the controller card on the drive is damaged. I am looking for another drive that is the exact model that is NOT damaged so that I can try to salvage the data that is on my hard drive by taking the controller card off of the GOOD drive and putting it on my hard drive. Those that I have discussed this with have told me that the model number must be exactly the same. Thanks.

NEED Same Maxtor 96147h6

I have the exact same problem and need one just like you do. I'll pay a dollar more. Lol
Seriously, I do need the exact same hard drive, as well. And YES, the numbers have to match.
Thanks!
