I replaced my neighbor's dead hard drive with a new WD 30GB hard drive. Installed win2k and all his apps and everything ran fine. Then two weeks later the drive got wiped clean...the partition table appeared to be jacked, because I needed to fdisk and reformat drive.
I figured it was probably a virus. So I reinstalled everything and put Norton AV on it. Well, two days later and the drive is wiped clean...again!???
Now, I'm pretty sure the drive is defective free because the WD's diagnostics utility reports no defects.
What could the problem be? Bad power, mb, virus, cable??? BTW he owns a compaq
with a celeron 500 and i810 motherboard. Any thoughts and experiences welcomed!
