There's no hard drive section, so I figure this is general
So here I am, re-routing the wires in my case to improve the airflow (with the computer turned on, oops), when suddenly, *zap!*. I have one of those 3-to-4 pin adapters 7V modded plugged into my delta fan, so the 3-pin header is bare.
It never occured to me until I heard the *zap!* that that header is infact a live header, just sitting there, waiting to zap something.
So, I happened to have my 2 hard drives plugged onto the same set of power plugs, and I reckon I managed to short out the disc controllers on the drives, because now my BIOS doesn't detect them or anything. It's as if they don't exist.
So, I figured I'd ask, is there any way to fix this? Or am I faced with either 2 dead drives, or a huge bill from some guy who will try to recover the data?
Thanks.
