Hi
A friend of mine who was using a spare hard drive to store movie files on
found it faulty after storing around 60 movies 700mb each on an 80 Gig HD. Now
a spare 20 Gig HD of mine with 10 700 Gig movie files on it has also gone
Chips. Both had the same symptoms, not being recognised at all by Win XP or DOS
and producing a load Tic Tic noise. I've just been talking to my ink supplier
who's mates 120 Gig movie hard drive has just gone the same way. What's going
on ? Does anyone have any ideas?
