I challenge you to a duel!http://www.boredomistan.com/2007/february/dead_hard_drivehttp://www.boredomistan.com/2007/february/dead_hard_drive/#c20070219143910Mon, 19 Feb 2007 03:39:10 GMTI had a hard drive make odd sounds once, then the machine crashed, then it started making zzzzZZZZZZzzzz noises when I turned the computer on. It also refused to boot or do anything but display a single flashing hyphen. When we took the hard drive out and had a look at it, the reader head had rammed itself into the magnetic plate, torn off and left the reader arm gleefully skipping across the plate, whistling as it went. Anyhoo, to make a long story short, NEVER BUY SEAGATE HARDWARE, IT SUCKS BAD. http://www.boredomistan.com/2007/february/dead_hard_drivehttp://www.boredomistan.com/2007/february/dead_hard_drive/#c20070219104344Sun, 18 Feb 2007 23:43:44 GMTsux2buhttp://www.boredomistan.com/2007/february/dead_hard_drivehttp://www.boredomistan.com/2007/february/dead_hard_drive/#c20070218212744Sun, 18 Feb 2007 10:27:44 GMTI have had a few HDDs dying. Unfortunately, a laptop HDD is not as conveniently replaced or salvaged as PC ones :( Now I have no respect for HDDs whatsoever, i keep mine on the floor connected by an IDE controller. Sometimes, when I'm at band camp, my bird, she turns it on and pecks it. I think shes after porn. http://www.boredomistan.com/2007/february/dead_hard_drivehttp://www.boredomistan.com/2007/february/dead_hard_drive/#c20070218202351Sun, 18 Feb 2007 09:23:51 GMT$300 and a wasted weekend later, I have a computer again. I think the SATA controller had fucked itself. Most inconvenient.http://www.boredomistan.com/2007/february/dead_hard_drivehttp://www.boredomistan.com/2007/february/dead_hard_drive/#c20070218143220Sun, 18 Feb 2007 03:32:20 GMT*cries* ;~(http://www.boredomistan.com/2007/february/dead_hard_drivehttp://www.boredomistan.com/2007/february/dead_hard_drive/#c20070217152934Sat, 17 Feb 2007 04:29:34 GMTA few years ago, right at the start of the Term 1 school holidays, my Pentium 3 500Mhz died a horrible death. I then had to wait 2 weeks for Intel to process the warranty. Worst school holidays ever :( I wish your computer a speedy recovery! -ralishhttp://www.boredomistan.com/2007/february/dead_hard_drivehttp://www.boredomistan.com/2007/february/dead_hard_drive/#c20070217132133Sat, 17 Feb 2007 02:21:33 GMT
