Note that if you do what Rob said, I would get the data off the drive then get another new drive. Each drive is a bit different, and each PCB's firmware is "mated" to that drive... you'll probably end up with lost data after just a few writes. From what I understand, each time it writes, the data won't be quite lined up with what the previous PCB stored, and you'll end up with a very confused (and unrecovable this time) drive.
