Hello, thanks for your tutorial.

I wonder, when facing this kind of problem (drive not recognized), i have read somewhere else that you could just change the PCB board and be fine with it. Do you always have to transfer bios or is it just for some special cases like this one?

@yannos you need to replace the BIOS so that the computer can recognize that drive and can access the files. Otherwise it will read it as a new drive.
