Have you tried a different sata hard drive docking station, not the cheapo usb sata cable drive connection cable...ok heres the logs, one thing i will mention the adapter seems to either slow or stop the pc from what it is doing
It's a big job opening a PC, there two thumb screws holding each side on. You then have to put the drive in a empty drive bay with four screws, plug it in and restart.@Lord Chance Not a problem mate.Very true, It is best if you can connect HDDs directly to the motherboard using SATA however as you know that requires opening up your PC and if USB will work then it makes it easier. If it was just either the partition table or MBR it's self that had gotten corrupted then Linux would have still seen it as a /dev/sdx device. That's why at the moment I'm leaning towards it being something more serious.
Aye my friend, I must bow to your superior knowledge of the workings of Linux.@Lord Chance Not a problem mate.Very true, It is best if you can connect HDDs directly to the motherboard using SATA however as you know that requires opening up your PC and if USB will work then it makes it easier.

Please believe this has NOTHING to do with your failed hard drive not working. Remember you said it did not work on another PC as well.yep, showing in device manager, im still showing this taredo thing as wekk, is that the culprit, see post 9
