[comp.sys.ibm.pc] ST225 death

Moral: If it works, don't fix it!
A few days ago, I (carefully) pulled out my ST225 hard disk to test a 
new cable set, and when I restored the old set, the disk no longer worked.
The error message I get is: General failure error reading c:.
Any one care to guess what this might really mean? (eg "re-format")
I've looked at all the cables and jumpers and anything else I could
think of, to no avail.
			HELP!			-ted-

I would try low-level formatting it.  Hopefully you have a recent backup!
