hi
any input on taking apart the drive and moving disk arem with heads(
for quantum/maxtor) highly apprecciated..


Yes. Do it only in a Class 100 (or lower -- many higher-capacity
drives are assembled in a Class 50 or lower facility) positive-pressure
clean room, with appropriate clothing and tools.


Anything less will spell certain death for your drive no matter what.


And another one with personal experience in transplanting dozens of headstacks.


Keep the peace(es).
