'ello, I've had something very similar to this before. My HDD is ``S.M.A.R.T.'' and it never warned me of immanent destruction so I was very concerned. I asked around and was told ``before you go out and bu a new disk, try wiggling the IDE cable around''. Of course I took this with a pinch of salt but I did try it -- and it worked!
As hard to believe as it is, something along the lines of ``chip-creep'' appears to have happened to my IDE cable. Not two weeks after this, someone else I knew had the same problem on their box! So, give it a go -- it might help. bye just now, -- Matthew T. Atkinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
