[TriEmbed] Laptop crash

[Scott Hall]

Paul,
You might try an adapter to check it in another computer.  I use an external 
SATA-to-USB cable when doing things like checking drives on my Linux PC.  You 
can get one of these adapters from Amazon for $6.35 + $2 ship to adapt the Dell 
form factor to SATA:
