I have tried and its saying the samething "Program can't be found, check dvd drive". Anymore ideas?

 

Not at the moment. I will try to switch my N version to J to check all the issues.

 

It would be really appreciated if you could and probly try a start up disk thats working and suggest in the mean time I will continue to sing to myself

 

Hey, any chance you could send me a link with the parts I'd need to connect my hard drive to my computer? Also wondering what country are you from?

 

He ignores Location part of forum user profile just like you do iJustinz

 

I am from JAMAICA....

It would be easier you got a laptop that uses IDE hard drive. In any case if your connecting it to a desktop's IDE bus you will need an adaptor to convert the laptop size hard drive to the desktop bigger IDE bus.
Then after unlocking you will need a IDE(laptop size) to USB to do your backup and other file transfers:

 

Thanks so much very helpful indeed. The second link to the "USB 2.0 to IDE/PATA 2.5 "Hard Disk Drive HDD Aluminum External Case Enclosure 500GB Max Capacity." This is just a case enclosure? $6.25? Do I place the HDD inside it to connect to the pc? I'm for New Zealand Btw

 

Yes, use the enclosure once you have unlocked the HDD to connect to your computer then you will be able to see the drives.

NB. I would suggest you use a linux OS to access folders because if you use windows it will create $RECYCLE folders on your drives which can be seen in linux I don't know if those folders cause any harm but I am just extra carefull I always return and delete those on my linux if I made mods using windows.

 

iJustinz what exactly are you trying to do with your system? is it a japanese model?

 

No harm from those Recyler folders.
