lol LMAO
"victim", well....
Pirating is a perfect way to get into games that you think are overrated, speaking from personal experience.
@@tausiftaha12 I think that piracy is justifiable by downloading abandonware

5:43 "Internal *HDD HARD* error!"
previous video: *"INSPIRATION!"*
i love how he shouts the capslock text. hilarious
HDD H A R D
It Might Be A Short For "Hard Disk Drive Hardware" Error!
Even that 10 GB drive would be a big upgrade for most of my craptops, most of which which were throwaways from a former job.
God dam I thought my iPhone 6 having 16gb of storage was stupid small but a whole ass HDD with 10gb now I feel like a pre teen
Those MFM hard drives installed on those commodore PC compatible was even better: 10MB (or so I heard).
Hi, My first hard drive on a PC was a XT class and i bought a used 10meg, it had everything on it, dos, nortons, xtree, pascal, word perfect, multiplan, and only @ 300 at the time mid 80's
The 90's was a year of ide and rattlers 400meg to 2gig, i still have 2 x connors 420meg drives that still work, everything else from that era is dead.
I have 2 toshiba laptops from XP era and in 2020 bought new old stock 60+80G 44 pin drives for them of ebay @ $30 each - i am so happy as i tri3ed to use the ide to Compact Flash adapters with no success
Im still sad abt letting go of most of my obsolete tech. Still have my first computer at least lol
Bruh my relatively debloated kubuntu root partition wouldn't fit into 10gb. Would need ~30-40gb atleast
Whenever Michael MJD posts its a good day keep it up!
always is
can confirm.
true (thats a fact)
Absolutely!
Yup
Just an idea but could you try connecting the "dead" drives as external also the empty ones try some data recovery to see what was on them?
Well, dead means dead. The drives are not working at all, it seems. Maybe the one with 'No boot sector' could containg something.
First they have to spin up and speak to the host system. If they won't spin up (and they were doing the dead actuator click of death) and are not recognized AS a drive by the system, you can't use software to recover the data. You could rebuild the mechanical parts (chances are the data on the disk itself is intact) which is what professional data recovery would do, but if it's the logic board, it needs to be an exact match (sometimes even the same batch).
Your personality is starting to show up in your videos, compared to the past monotone narrator voice, and I love it🤣
Your videos are always so entertaining! Hope you have an amazing week :)
Thank you!!
nice 🙂
This whole video reminded me of last year when my laptop's hard drive failed and we had to replace it :(
Sad story I know
Same! It happened to me a few days ago :( really sucks to lose all my data
That first drive that was showing as unallocated could just have a corrupt partition table. Try using testdisk to recover the partitions if they're readable. An old USB HDD of mine did that a few times but I was able to use testdisk to recover the partition table so I could at least copy the files off.
4:40. They also have an eBay store and yes, their prices are absolutely ridiculous. Every time I saw an old laptop on eBay with a price like that, I'd always know it was from recycledgoods. Craziest thing is that they're a recycling company so it makes the prices they ask even more ridiculous.
"You may be a victim of software counterfeiting"
Ah yes, "victim".
"Internal (screams) HDD HARD drive"
I'm getting Dankpods vibes from that XD
Plot Twist: Actually on both empty HDD's was actually some *very* explicit photographs of Michael. The kind that gets people arrested.
Double twist: it's pictures of all Michael's subscribers! :D

Actually actually
You know it’s a good Monday when MJD posts
TravelStar aka "DeathStar" hard drives.
I love seeing the time progress on the clock. The digit changes look very satisfying.
I am watching your videos before sleeping these days.
Your videos are always so well made, are so good, I like they a lot, I truly hope and want to your channel to grow, and to have even more views and subs, because you deserve it Michael, I think you are doing a great job! Never give up!
Is it really a surprise that the Travelstars were bad? 🤨 IBM had a class-action lawsuit against it for the -Deskstar- Deathstar.
Hope the hard drives can spin right round
Your videos are getting funnier both in editing and acting in a way! Please keep doing it, it's a lot of fun to watch!
MJD so glad to see you succeeding the way are, I remember when you only had 20K subs and even then you had no problem to upload videos even though things don't work out the way you expect. Great video again.
Thanks so much Scott! I really appreciate it
Damn, for a moment there with the whole "That's not a good sound.... Internal HDD HARD! Error (like getting a soft error is any better)" I thought I was watching Mr. Regular do a review of a laptop...
I'm reminded of the older USB HDDs we had back then. Ever since my dad learned that USB enclosures were a thing, he turned every working HDD we had from unused/broken PCs into USB HDDs. Most were desktop HDDs, so we had these huge clunky things that each used a USB B cable _and_ its own power adapter. Lol. It was cheaper than the actual ext. HDDs back then. Flash drives weren't as cheap as they are now and offered too little space for our backups. Younger me would've loved my affordable (and faster) pocket-size 2TB HDD.
Clunky but effective! This is the kind of solution I still use to this day, though no longer due to price but on account of I've got a buttload of perfectly functional HDDs so why would I possibly NEED to buy more? 😝🍍
The IBM TravelStar hard drives had the nick name "IBM DeathStar" for a reason.
No, those were the Deskstar GXP75's.
Dead or Alive Hard Drives-
You spin me right 'round,
Right 'round like a platter, baby
Right 'round, 'round, 'round,
KDS stands for Korea Data Systems and they OEMd a lot of equipment I believe back to 1990. The Gateway 2000 Crystalscan 1024ni was made by KDS. It is my understanding that they went on to become Princeton Graphics and Mag Innovision sometime later. I also think, (but am not sure), that the CEO of that company went on to financial ruin, only to come back and start Vizio.
ok
ceo of vizio is chinese american... not korean
You could try seeing if there's still data on these drives with a free utility called TestDisk. Windows just stopped recognizing my disk towards the end of formatting it, so it's also useful for checking that nothing's on there anymore
do a "testdisk" recovery on the unallocated harddrive
Testdisk doesn't recover file names, paid easeus recovery works better but costs a lot and it's closed source, it can also recover a lot more files than testdisk
@@namesurname4666 no since its an unallocated space u can recover the whole partition with the files inside testdisk is better when u want to recover a corrupted or a deleted partition map which is what seems to be happening here as long as he hasn’t written any files over it or hasnt zerod out the disk he is good to go
@@ZardashtKaya yes i think i mistaken testdisk for photorec sorry
The IBM Travelstars not working are no big suprise. Someone I watch had all of her pictures on one, and she went to back them up, and the drive just killed itself.
I just refurbished and sold a Dell D600 laptop which looks identical to yours. Dell still has all the old drivers on their website. It was a nice little machine! The nipple mouse was fun to use too haha
Perfect timing!!
The Click-of-death-clicker is really working hard at 6:07
I recently just saved a custom pc that was destroyed on a curb from Ida. The hard drive even worked and it booted to a Spanish install of xp pro sp1. Just thought I would share that story.
I was hoping for a rickroll on any of the HDD.
Every IBM Travelstar I've ever had has died after 4 years.
I hope!
Wake up babe, new video from MJD
You should try the infamous freezer trick and see if that works with your dead drives.
I mean hey, the fact that those drives were already wiped means you have good OPSEC!
Yknow its a good night when Michael posts a video on exploring hard disks lol
Oh yes, good ol' reliable IBM Deathstar (Yes, I know that nickname was for the Deskstar, but still)
They called those drives "Deathstars" for a reason. that click is all too familiar
I recently dug up some 44-pin IDE drives around my house that were in not-so-good conditions. I found a few with Windows XP installed, Windows 7 (which couldn't even boot), and one with Windows 2000 straight from an office workstation. I tested them on a HP Omnibook 6000 (the only computer I could find that natively supports the 44-pin IDE interface). Many were Hitachi, IBM Travelstar, and some others.
I'm sure my mate used to call the travelstar the deathstar due to reliability
Try a file recovery program on the working drives, maybe there might be something left of there!
Average ibm travelstar, those things loved to spontaneously have the platters explode. Xd.
I still have my 19" KDS CRT, was from my first computer!
2:53 - Wohoo 420! I've just waited for this to happen😂
The most awesome and interesting Video I've ever seen!! The end was so shocking! One of the best videos here! * *coughs * *
Thanks to the last 5 digits of your serial, I now have the full serial.
YOINK!
Wrekt
6:23 we need to quote this, my travelstar in a sorta rare ibm netvistas platter literally EXPLODED..
Thanks for the early notice, TH-cam Recommended! Was waiting on this one!
_YOU SPIN ME RIGHT ROUND BABY RIGHT ROUND_
Like a record bayby right round round round !
If you take the dead drives to a special place that removes the platers to another casing , you can get the data or whatever that’s on there. But expensive it’s tho.
that's so this your vids ROFL I'm so excited from the 8 min of vid I've watch ROFL
You must have put a lot of hard work in to this video just to find nothing was on those hard drive drives. Keep up the good work 😁
😮 Spoilers! 😮
Nah, it's all good. Enjoyment for this kind of thing really comes from the journey, not the result. 😁🍍
Must Smile When you post a new video
_It’s a hard disc life for us, no partitions, they’re all bricked!_
The editing is so perfect
Thanks!
It wouldn't be an MJD video when half of the drives aren't dead and the working ones are just completely empty. :D
michael having a vaults of al capone moment, banger video nonetheless
Those Travelstar drives used to clunk like hell and fail regularly back in the day, must be very few still functional today.
I love this guy he always does computers stuff which I love to watch so thank you for your entertainment.
Thank you for watching! : )
"You spin me right-'round, baby, right-'round, like a...hard drive...baby?"
Hahahahahah
@@ThinkDifferentlier I does say, "Dead or Alive" in the thumbnail, so... :D
you should actually do a sector and file recovery video and see what was last on the drive, (of course hide any private informations you find), would make a for a cool video.
When the clock in the background hit 4:20 👌
I have an external USB 2.0 enclosure for the 44 pin IDE drives that you can have if you want to do some further testing on them. Ironically, it is actually labeled as being for an IBM Travelstar. Just let me know and I'll mail it out to you, I have no more need for it.
depending on how they were wiped, data could be recovered but the chances of anything meaningful depend on if data was written after the wipe or as part of the wipe...
came from the tweet
me too
Pee pee poo poo
It's a good day when Michael posts a video
2:55 nice clock, nice
He's playing the Mario Theme from SML (Bumper Tag by John Delay look in the description)
Hi Michael! I hope you have a great week :)
3:83 is every one who swears by a certain and only product. :3
Why not try using data recovery software to deep scan for surviving files, even after formatting? Would love to see some zombie HDD resurrection 😅
I love every video you upload! They are really entertaining!
"No Boot Sector" Classic MJD Video Right There
you know what, its sad they dont work, but at least you gave me a good time passer
This was enjoyable to fall asleep to at 2:30 am
Awesome video! love your videos they are straight to the point
I kinda like how he is slowly becoming the Dank Pods but for PC's
Micheal MJD being great for technical content on TH-cam with adverts or TH-cam Premium without adverts, Your choice people.
System volume Infomation has left the chat
3:00 Oh look at the time.
nice
the clock saying 4:20 is nice
Love your videos keep up the great work Michael
This best Hiren's BootCD. Love Michael MJD Vlog ❤
Welcome to the stage of history...
Oh wait, that was Soul Calibur, not Dead or Alive.
5:43 - The insane frick out every heared...
You could probably fix the dead one by moving the heads off the platter. It's a risk but works sometimes.
another unproductive yet very entertaining video by Michael
dead or alive, your TravelStar is coming with me.
For the Latitude D610, you can get a D-Bay to IDE adapter for like 10 bucks off parts-people, and you can do these tests much fasters without touching any screws, and it can both be detected under Windows or be booted directly.
Also, next time you probably should've gave away the hard drive caddy when you give away an old laptop, finding the hard drive caddy for the really old laptops are quite hard and those older Latitudes absolutely need the caddy's internal adapter (ribbon cable) for the hard drive to work on them
The Dell Latitude D610 is slowly becoming the new $5 98 PC of this channel. I love your content btw
Spin me right round baby right round....
Travelstar, the smaller version of the infamous "Deathstar."
Just saw it in my recommended and I'm excited!
The Latitudes at that time were amazing machines. I have a D-810 and a D-630 and both of them still have fully functional batteries.
Until you got a D630 or D830 with a Nvidia GPU, then they're garbage.
Anything Nvidia until Fermi/Kepler was garbage, reliablity wise. And even then Big Fermi (GF110 Quadros in Precisions/EliteBooks) was pretty eh
You should run R-Studio on the two ‘blank’ drives!
We used to call those IBM TravelStars .... Death Stars... have seen a lot of dead ones.
what is best before going to sleep? Enjoy Michael MJD his video. Always nice videos keep it up! Greetings from the north of the Netherlands.
