My fiance's PC is an old Gateway 400 Cely. It runs ok for a cely, but is often plagued with performance problem when dealing with basic tasks in windows. But today it gave me a spook. I'd added a second 6.4 Gb Maxtor to the box to keep all of our word documents on. She is an english major, so she has a lot of writing. Anyway today the mouse wasnt working after a fresh boot (although it had sat for several hours after the boot without being touched). I wasnt too concerned becasue it is on a KVM switch and they can act funny sometimes, so I simpy rebooted again and the mouse worked fine, but suddenly I realized that the Documents Hard Drive was missing. Windows had gone ahead and label the CD-RW drive with it's letter d: So i checked my other PC's and it wasnt showing on the network either. Another reboot and it was back! I quickly made a back up copy, and warned My fiance of the danger. Is this something we should worry about? I intend to run the disk utillity, Powermax, to see if it checks out ok, whould I still trust this drive? is this just s freak issue? could it be the mobo? I think the mouse problems was just that when it rebooted initially the KVM switch wasnt set to the old Celly (KVM's can really fvck with plug and play!)
Would you trust it?
