Hi guys,
I have a PC where the 5 1/4" drive is not working. I've taken the drive apart and cleaned it up and re lubed it and tested it in another machine which was successful. I put the drive back into its original computer and it didn't work again. So this leads me to believe the controller has failed in one way or another. Just wondering if anyone has any pointers on what I can look for to try and fix this? Swapping controllers isn't an option because the PC uses a proprietary controller built into the motherboard and has no ISA slots.
Cheers
Matt
