My 60GB Western Digital HD just died last night. I booted up my box and dmesg says: /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0: unknown partition table Drats... i had my custom neverwinter nights modules on there :( Did you have similiar problems with your WD's (partition table corruption) - or did the drives degrade to the point where the BIOS wouldn't even recognize them? take care, charles
