ouch
that is why you NEVER trust a hard disk. always keep your backups. keep them current, and safe, and fed. ok, dont feed them but i had to say it. to all of you with hard disk issues, and to all of you who still have yet to have one, i say this:
Hard disk manufacturing companies are 10 times more worried about speed than they are about accuracy. they also claim to have a "less than one percent" failure rate, which may sound good, but multiply .6% times the number that has been made, and that leaves a ton of bad hard disks out there. i have had more than a "less than one percent" failure rate. I havent even ever owned more than 50 hard disks in my life, and i would have to say i have had at least 10 of them fail on me, and half of those were very new. sounds more like a "more than 20 percent" failure rate to me. lol. but maybe they dont like the way i make them go to bed early, and maybe the arent getting a big enough allowance, and they are unhappy? HAHA.
Sorry, I'm babbling again.....
