Well,
Drive Has Come From Pakistan , It Was Given To Some Local There And He Might Have Tried All Type Of 2nd And 3rd Grade Stunts On It , Then The Drive Was With Our Friend Wasim " He Was Busy EeeD Time " And Told The customer About The Translator Issue And No Original Backups , So It Crossed Borders And I Am Working On This Now ,I Will Hopefully Change Heads And Try As Much Translator AS i Can Built , Any Suggestions ,Could it Be BAD SA Surface Too ,I am able to read write sys files .
