Hi Laurent,
With your post, you reminded me of something I have been wondering
about lately. Sometimes my Pismo suddenly starts making a lot of
noise while it works (and I am not meaning the fan). Can a HDD start
making odd noises if it is about to wear out?
My boss just lend me a 250 GB
I used to use Web Devil a lot back when I paid a lot to stay on line,
and I really loved it. It is so easy to use and works real well. I

Oh my... Now I am getting a bit nervous... That sort of sounds a bit
like what my Pismo HDD has been doing lately. Hasn`t been a constant
sound though, only once in a while, but it has happened several times
and it is a sound I never heard before since it was brand new almost
5 years ago...
These are disk images...not harmful at all. When you are done with it just
eject it and it's gone! Also you can delete the original file that you
downloaded, or you can keep it in storage somewhere in case you need to
re-install some time later. Then just double click it and it'll make that
