Linux drive in a Windows box

[arao at honnu.com (Anand A Rao)]

I had the exact same issue ,  My hard disk had died  and  connecting  
this  hdd to the  system prevented  the  main  ( running) HDD to be 
recognized by the  BIOS. Felt  it was strange.  I found my HDD disks   
was not even  spinning. I  did  Lose some data  on that HDD.
