I came down 2 days ago and it took a while for my computer to want to work right. My son had been on it - so I asked him what he did - he said 'nothing - I just took your hard drives out and put mine in to see which one I wanted to use as mine in my computer - then I put yours back....' so, now they've been 'handled'. It finally worked right, so might have just been co-incidence. But it booted, and then certain things just didn't work dealing with being on line. I re-booted again and everything seemed to be back to normal...I've been crossing my fingers ever since.

Both of them have gone out in less than a year, so they were both under warranty, but I did lose everything off this last hard drive. I won't be going for a Maxtor on my next hard drive, for sure. nightsneak ----- Original Message ----- From: "~OoO~" <SirTroth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2003 7:40 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: HD Companies > Its funny, cause I don't know anyone else that has had as many HD failures as I. 4 hard drives have gone bad in about 3 years span. I mean the entire drive don't go bad, but at least part of it goes bad... with the last one that I just discovered yesterday, on my 40GB Maxtor, that I lost 6GB. Maybe it has something to do with all the switch and bating I do with the drives very often, since they're sensitive to physical handling. > ---Troth To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ For more info: //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=pctechtalk To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ For more info: //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=pctechtalk
