Western Digital has in my experience never made a good Drive....But they do have good support, So Buyer Beware...WD has a low level format utility that most of the time can recover the drive but that doesn't keep them from corrupting again...Since the heads don't seem to lock properly when parked

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 _______________________________________________ LUAU mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://videl.ics.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/luau
