my rant continues!
holy cow my wd320 gig that is less than 6 months is already giving me boot disk errors!
ahh
and it does it at the worst possible times too. I took the tower into school so we could export and swap files for our video competition (which was due that day).
The machine turned on, then when i looked at it later (after xp loaded the first time) it had restarted and was on a boot disk error.
i restarted it 15 or 20 times until i was sooo pissed i punched it.
Guess what... it turned on and worked perfectly the rest of the day.... until we moved it to another class (the judgeing was done in that room) we had to leave or else we were disqualified.
then it did the same thing, 20 restarts later i punched the top... then it worked perfectly.
I know this probably isnt good on my componets, but thats the only way it will work after you move it.
keep in mind im not dragging, sliding, or dropping it at any point.
next time I take it in to renew my 3d license from the server, im going to take the hdd out and ride with it between my legs or something.... this is rediculous
i carry a wd passport 120 gigger with me everyday for 2 years, it has had a rough life and works perfectly (until i unplugged it "unsafely" from a windows 2000 machine.... woah)
this is about the 10th time the 320 has done this, at first i thought i was transporting it too "rough"... so i took an old luggage case, wrapped it in a blanket with pillows and put it in my trunk.
still does it.
This is an hdd issue right? i listened to the drive thru a screwdriver and didnt hear any repetitive clicking....
i wonder how SDD drives are coming along, seems like a good investment at this point...
I am still looking into a raid (copy) set of seagate 500's... maybe ill make them esata so i can take them off for a car trip....
(whn the budget is there)
