20gb maxtor d740x-6l line

first it wont format into NTFS (i had to do either fat32 or run linux)

then occasionally on boots it'd give the LOUDEST most horrible sounds ever...forcing me to reboot.

warranty expired 6-2-02 :(:(:(

You should wipe off the poop and get a new one then.

(never had a HD die...*knocks on wood*)

I have had 4 or 5 HDs fail on me. I guess that is what I get for buying IBM 60GXPs.

Consider yourself a lucky man.

"I once knew a hooker who would piss in a man's face for the right amount of money. But she wouldn't sh!t on his chest. That's where she drew the line."
