Another Hmmm, I have 5 HDs (in caddies) 1 x Samsung has an old MD 7.2 install still on it and another Samsung with "something else" on it which my other half insists on using :-) My MD 8.1 install is on a Fujitsu and I use a Maxtor as a backup in case I break something. I also have a Seagate which I use for crashtesting so it gets a fair amount of abuse. Both the Maxtor & Seagate drives came from computer fairs, were labelled "untested buy at your own risk" and cost next to nothing, surprisingly, despite the warning label both have and are giving reliable service on my home-made AMD K6-2 450 machine and I've had them for a couple of years and put them to many different uses in that time.

I never did know "exactly" why the hard drive gave those symptoms, but changing the hard drive finally cured the box. (I had changed even the power supply in the box, as well as fans added and all kinds of stuff) in spite of good readings from it after about the third MB in 3 months. never had a nother problem with the box, put the HD in a totally different box and two months later, had an additional "spare" cpu since the MB was trashed again. > >snip > > Hmm, that's interesting, one of the HD's is a Maxtor, not sure what the > other is. > > KM -- Poogle Registered Linux user 182657 (added to sig for the benefit of those irritated by it)
