Hi,
I recently lost two harddrives to what I believe to be the
same event. The drives were both running XP (Pro?), one
on a Dell Dimension 8100 desktop, the other a Dell
Inspiron 8200 laptop.
First, on the Dimension, I started a print job of a 543Kb
file from Ulead "Photo Explorer 7.0)to an Olympus "Camedia
P-400" photo specific printer. The job seemed to be
taking forever so I looked at the print manager to find a
print file size of 0.98 Gb trying to choke its way through
the process. I cancelled the job and the computer
immediately crashed.
After several Disk formats and Win XP installations I
finally admitted to myself that the harddrive was dead.
I.e., "Primary hard disk 0 not found", etc..
I ran a disk diagnostic and it failed.
Before most of this was done, and only two days after the
initial crash, I tried the print job from my laptop. Same
result. Both disks are making funny noises (one a whistle
and one a clicking). Niether computer has ever given me
problems with this exact proceedure before.
I am just about to install new harddrives and wish to
avoid a repeat.
I would really appreciate any help on this, Mike
