    Here are two PCB sellers in HK who ship overseas:
    http://www.onepcbsolution.com/
    http://www.hkmingdi.com/enindex.asp

    I found them off the forum of this site:
    http://www.deadharddrive.com/

    I wrote a short post about it in French, you can probably run it in google-translate. It took me a bit of time to figure out the PCB number on my Seagate drive, which is on the PCB, but on the side facing the disk, so I had to unscrew it to obtain it. (both HK sites were helpful and responded to my e-mails in good English).

    OTOH here's a 'techy' guy running winXP Home. I assume many things surprise him.

    Yes, I do think that a cron event would work just fine with this boot up sequence.
    Like I said you he should have returned in the weekend in the middle to do the backup.
