Yesterday my GuitarFreaks V5 machine stopped working right when I was playing, after that it doesn't boot anymore. The PC seems to be working well, it is displaying a "no bootable device found" message after boot. I see it does not detect the HDD at all. I tried reseating the SATA cables but nothing changed.
I brought the whole HDD assembly to my desk, took it out of the case and connected it to my PC: nothing happened, it does not spin at all.
Sounds like the logic board of the drive died, I may be trying to get another HDD and for a transplant, it's a WD 1600AAJS-00WAA0
But anyways I would like to migrate it to a newer HDD or SSD.
I also have a DrumMania V5 machine and I'm quite worried about it ending with the same fate. Is there a way to back up my own disk to be ready for when it fails?
I even tried installing the DrumMania V5 disk in the GuitarFreaks V5 PC and it booted, to later give a "security error" probably about the wrong dongle (it is looking for drummania dongle).
Appreciate any advice!
