Thanks. > > Western Digital, circa 1998 or newer I just love WD myself, I just lost a 15gig HD in the middle of an update on a windows machine. I had two of them on my linux box and had nothing but problems with both of them, so I made the box a backup for my wife's Windows /AOL (now there is a combo for ya) machine. Fortunately I have learned to listen to the voices and had it backed up in two different places. The HD was only about 1 to 1 1/2 years old and had not seen hard use. It still boots but quits after it warms up a bit, then nothing, no mouse, no keyboard. I believe I will stay with Maxtor and IBM HDs from now on, or at least until somebody makes a better one. But never WD again. -- Dennis M. registered linux user # 180842
