what was the question?
i'd get a maxtor hd...
i think i have a 20gig one...
and its 95% full
my advice would to be : dont download so bloody much, ur hard drive will literally cook
lmao, get a 100000000rpm fan with liquid nitrogen cooling system
it'll be colder than the ice age

the question is if its a dead drive or not, and if my files are completely lost. My main old hd was a 40gb maxtor, pretty reliable.
my new one is a western digital 100gb 7200 rpm. I'm gonna return it to the worlds shittiest store and get a maxtor

oh and i found out that it was a bad head or something. BUt someone told me that i could hook up the messed up drive as slave and recover some of my files. He said it rarely works. I did it and everything is perfect. I am so happy. now i gotta return the drive.

oh yea, i think i'm one of the few on here who had their hd crash with no backups and actually recovered all their music but lost my other uh files

is the hard drive dead or not... hmmm...
do a full scandisk and check the 'scan surface area' option [for a full scan, and leave alone for a few hours
if there r some bad sectors of the disk, then the mp3s @ that point of the hd is gone/fkd/w00sh!
