EDIT:... i tried everything given in the tutorial... i dismantled my hard drive from my gigabeat.... then i connected my gigabeat to my pc till i got the usb connected sign.then i reconnected my hard drive to my gigabeat.i then got  a message saying toshiba hdd device found.and then nothing.windows explorer dint detect the gigabeat drive.when i disconnected my gigabeat i got a message saying restart your pc for the installed hard drive to work properly.i restarted my pc.but still doesnt detect.when i go device manager and check the "check hardware changes" or any similar options my pc freezes.i tried the same on my friends pc.same events take place.wad can i do now? is it a hardware problem?
