Sodding hard drives

And now, for the second time, a Maxtor hard drive has died on me.

Without any real abuse, cause or even wear and tear - it's dead. Toast. Corpse like.

100Gb of assorted stuff, in the process of being sorted - GONE.

Including a 2/3 put together present for a friend.

Grrrrr

Drive was 4 years old, had only been used for 18 months of that, had been in only 2 machines and hadn't really been used - let alone abused.
