Have a hard drive that I think is defective. (again)   I'm not certain
though, thus this message. :-)  

At first I thought it was something that Vista did because that is when
i first noticed it when I was running Vista. The hard drive would spin
down for no apparent reason. I would fire up XP and it wouldn't do
that. 

However, of late, the drive sometimes don't spin up enough to be
recognized by the BIOS during startup. I have to restart the computer
once, and sometimes more than once in order to have it recognized. I was
thinking it might be a power thing, but I feel I have ruled that out.  

So I'll probably wiped it and RMA it. Any thoughts? 


For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels
