DANG! my HDD is DYING!!!

[DaWhim]

it is driving me crazy! what should I do now?
it is a Maxtor 80gb 5400/2mb cache. if I send it to maxtor, will they look at what I got in the hdd? I don't have any porns in it, but just some warez, movies and mp3s.

it has been serving me for a year with my abusive usage! 😀

Get a new one. Maybe a Diamondmax Plus 9 7200rpm/8MB cache? It's cheap.

how much is it? I still want it to be fixed. I am probably getting another one too.

sending it back to maxtor with warez and mp3's on it is probably not the best idea...

I doubt that I can do a format now. it is in the dying mode.

I seriously doubt that they fix them...

Looks like these Maxtor drives aren't the most reliable.

Yeah... I'd go with one of those 80GBs they have at Fry's for $50 after rebates. Very nice. 8MB cache and all.
