The interesting thing is I explained what was happening to Kevin at OnePCBSolution.com, one of the companies who do the board + ROM swaps and he kindly replied with "To be honest, I don't think your drive has a circuit board problem.
Oblivion, you mentioned you had experience with firmware?
Does any of this sound reasonable/plausible?

Hello,
Well not necessarily. For example, JPG files use an elaborate compression stream, which if even one bit in the whole 250k file is flipped, will render the data from that point on almost worthless. Files like this often show up as 1/2 a picture or 1/2 a picture with the remaining half badly distorted.
Hi Oblivion!
If CRC errors are recoverable, that would certainly be useful, if anyone knows how to do this, or what software to recommend (Trial ones please!) I'd happily test it out and post results. The interesting thing is data which is marked as un-copyable by windows, is still accessible on the original test drive. It views just fine, but you just cant copy it to another place. Perhaps drive imaging techniques such as Ghost or Acronis may be a better way to preserve the overall data but it's been a really long time since I've used them. Any advice would be appreciated!
I also do appreciate all the points and corrections, they serve to keep the information and data much more balanced which I think is fantastic
Kind regards,
Megamox
