maxtor disk storage by
E.N.Baker
To Whom it may concern:
In April, 2002 I purchased a Maxtor Personal Storage disk 3000LE
primarily for backups. For years I've been reading articles in the

files. Now, I actually never had a problem with the computer
crashing,...

Darn, is my Hard Disk Drive finished? Can't read it. by
eb7g
I have a 120GB Western Digital Caviar that is less than two years old. I
was rendering a movie from it when it froze and then nothing could read
it again.
The computer bios will see it, but windows can't. Can't seem to access
it in anyway, even to reformat it. It spins and seems fine....
Any idea...

appropriately, and reads and writes to CD-R. SiSoft Sandra 2004
reports a drive index of ~8000 - a little...

Hi, all
In my computer I have 3 HDDs (6.4, 13.6 and 120GB) one on top of the other
in a mid tower case. Out of nowhere I got a blue screen with a caption
