Yep.

thx for the heads up on that maxtor 300gb hard drive

finally my 80gb sata drive has smart errors, which means it will go soon

its also causing cdfs blue screens and restarts in windows

WOW!
(that's in response to your new avatar, hox!)
is that you after finding out that the RIAA has your house surrounded?
i see it's hosted on aviationwiz's site. maybe it's aviationwiz after finding out that his Plextor DVD burner died and the new model has horribe write quality...

aviationwiz has always been hosting my avatar

he's cool like that

I picked up that Antec power supply CompUSA had on sale. Let's see if my rebate check shows up now.

Those Norwood Micro DVD writers they have on sale are BenQ DW1640's.. at least the internals are. It's not a bad deal for $40 out the door.

Not bad for the best drive EVER in the history of DVD burners.

I noticed that your using a Nforce board, if you get a Maxtor check out the Hardware Forum- http://www.cdrlabs.com/phpBB/viewtopic. ... 552#155552

I vote for the DW1655 because the DW1640 is discontinued.... but if it was still in production I'd be voting for it!

well i know its faulty hard drive because i used the geek squad MRI to diagnose my computer

if your drive is making SMART errors, it's not a difficult thing to find out, plenty of programs will check SMART for you.

thats exactly what is happening, both DFT and MRI disk

what's DFT, MRI ?
sorry to have hijacked your topic, bill...

MRI is geeksquads complete computer checking disk:

DFT (drive fitness test):

thanks.
you can also use Western Digital's Data LifeGuard Diagnostics.
http://support.wdc.com/download/
http://support.wdc.com/download/?cxml=n&pid=999&swid=3 (windows version)
works also on non-WD drives (AFAIK).

hmm...haven't used DFT in a while, should download the latest version...

No problem, you'll never catch up

I honestly haven't even looked at any tests of the new Plextor drives, I just do so little burning now that I don't think I'd get another drive until mine dies (which it hasn't)
