what do i do...

[ShadowBlade]

so i sold a friend most of a dell (psu, cpu, ram, mobo) for $80
he installs an older hard drive (about the same age as the dell i sold him) and it doesnt show up at all
so he put it back in another computer and he said it didnt show up there either
and now he's claiming that "your [my] dell fried my hard drive" and is obviously wanting his money back...
now last week, used all the same parts (minus a hard drive) and it worked fine except for the lack of hard drive, could access the bios and change stuff just fine (i didnt change anything, but i was able to)
so to my knowledge, the only thing that could have gone wrong was something he did and i've already spent about $60 of the money he gave me

so what do i do? should i give him his money back or not?

your friend is most likely an idiot

tell him to get a new hdd and quit bitching

bump, its important

take your HD over there, plug it in and show him that it works. Tell him he fried his own hard drive.

 

[Zanix]

yeah, your friend had a screwed up HD already. He probably didn't install it correctly. Do what you can, but don't spend any more money.

bump again, almost off the first page

put in an old hd that you pretest, then show him it works in the dell, then drop it on his balls if he keeps complaining

otherwise...well if your good hd doesnt work in the dell either then drop it on his face and run

n00b didn't set the jumpers?

 

[FeuerFrei]

He could have plugged the drive into the wrong IDE plug or not set the jumpers correctly. Go install it yourself (correctly) and verify his claim.

his hd was already toast

I'm thinking your friend is stupid.

Bring a HD over, plug it in, be like "hey it works you retard" and keep his money.

Edit: If it kill your HD too, call it possessed by satan and sell it on ebay for profit++
