Does anybody feel like making a recommendation for an IDE hard disk ? The last IBM HD (20GB) I bought had problems overheating. Now this new IBM HD (40GB) has died within four months. I don't think I'll be buying from Big Blue again. Maxtor disk in the UK come with a 3 year warranty. Are these any good ? -- Darren Wyn Rees [EMAIL PROTECTED]
