Can a hard disk shrink? Or did ****USA steal my HD?
**** Post for FREE via your newsreader at post.usenet.com ****
Do computer repair centers ever replace HDs with smaller ones and not tell customers? I took my Compaq equipped with 80 gig HD to ****USA but got back a 40 gig. My data wasn't lost, but the drive is definitely smaler, according to the BIOS and the label on the HD. My original problem was that the computer would freeze or blue screen every other day, and changing the PS didn't help. Apparently the original PS was bad and the second one was inadequate because the repair center put in yet another, and the computer has been rock solid ever since. The repair center denies that the replaced the drive and said that they only ran a diagnostic on it. I have the receipt for the original HD (was an upgrade) and registered its serial no., but the repair center says that it's not enough proof. What can I do? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= *** Usenet.com - The #1 Usenet Newsgroup Service on The Planet! *** http://www.usenet.com Unlimited Download - 19 Seperate Servers - 90,000 groups - Uncensored -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |
