I have an old TI p133 laptop running win98se. On shutdown I get this problem where windows displays a column of colors. I have no clue what it could be because the only time I've ever seen a column of colors like that was on a desktop monitor when the computer was off or something. I haven't...

i have a problem deleting a file because windows tells me its either corrupt or unreadable. how do I delete it then ?

from what I had read, I was expecting a 60gxp. instead I got a 75gxp 45GB to replace my broken 75gxp. my last drive had those bad sectors 0x70 and 0x77 error codes? Knowing my luck this drive will fail the day after my warrenty ends.

I rma'd my ibm 45GB 75gxp HD about 2-3 weeks and I finally got the HD back this morning. I got a used HD back that looks on the exterior to be beat and old. Casing is scratched and rubbed too much in certain areas. <--last time I ever buy from ibm.
