HELP! ok, so i have a 250 gb western digital drive in my macbook. I decided to replace it to see if it was causing airport problems, so i stuck in the original 80gb drive. This was ok, but the airport problem was still there. I put the 250 back in to find that i get the ? folder. I realized that i had put in the drive upside down (i realize how bad this is), but when i replaced it, it still gives me the folder. I then booted in to the leopard install disk, to see if it was the drive was even being recognized, only to find that it wasn't being recognized at all. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME. i have a full 250 gb drive and i really need the stuff on it, and i'd rather not have to go to data recovery lengths. what do i do!!!
Got a tip for us?

There's a hundred different sources, computer shops, mail order outlets -- you are looking for a 2.5" SATA - USB case, they'll be between $15 and $25. Slightly better would be a 2.5" SATA - Firewire case at $35 - $60.
