[olug] (OT) Loner Mac

[Todd Wittenmeier]

That's actually not a very good sign..

a Hard Drive is a Hard Drive Mac or PC, the only thing they have different
now is the file systems the OS's use.

If your BIOS isn't even able to detect the "kind" of drive it is, then the
hardware on the drive is likley damaged..
