Geesh ralax dude. I love how everyone in here is always trying to prove
another person wrong or that they're lying or something. I didn't mean it
was that exact message. The part about smart is not in the error I see, but
it's similar. I've been seeing the below error since I put this drive in xp.
2G western digital from 1997.
