| 365787 | 2005-06-21 09:33:00 | You might try Darren Holyoake (not sure if correct Spelling) XYZ pcs BUT he charges $40 an hour. Or just a pc shop [EDIT] why anyway from your profile you live in West Auckland :confused: |

| 365792 | 2005-06-23 02:53:00 | Well the drive was stuffed. It read 33.8Gb in 3 different PC Bios's. 4 including the suppliers, haha. Replaced it. Its only the 2nd Seagate I have ever had been faulty, and funnily both of them belonged to the same person. :p |

Its only the 2nd Seagate I have ever had been faulty, and funnily both of them belonged to the same person. :p Hmm.. same PC? or same location? I had a MBD that would kill any HDD over a period of time, and knew a guy that insisted on sticking notes on the side of his PC case with a magnet. Might be worthwhile checking the environment, if it seems to be happening to the same guy a lot. -Qyiet |

But it was an interesting co-incidence. But the first got errors, bad blocks and is now making hideous noises. The second was the size thing, so probably was a fault at manufacturing. He's probably getting quite paranoid about it now. :badpc: |
