The 3 gig is my main (virus problems a while back, otherwise it would be the 10 gig, I was too lazy to switch it back)

So anyways, the 10 gig makes crazy resonence noises, and I already have an RMA number to return it, its shipping out monday.

So I have it all cleaned off and backed up, but I wanted to play some red faction (warez, sue me)

I install it and then unpack the sounds.

At 61 percent the computer slows to a crawl and the hard drive is solid on. (I'm thinking "ok computer is being stupid, probly the drive going south")

I reset it and start deleting all the files.

Then it runs into files it won't let me delete, file names are too long or invalid.

Wacky stuff.

Theres 32 files each with exactly the same name in 4 different folders.

The name?

dZIddZId.dZI Except the I is a thick line.

Now for the crazy part?

Ya ready for this? 10 gig drive remember

Each file is 1.56 GIGS!!!

4 folders with 50 gigs each.

LOL do ya think the drive is screwed or what?

HAHA

BTW I'm ONLY laughing cause I know its on its way to be replaced, I'm hoping they make a faster model now to replace it with

Its a 10 gig, fujitsu 7200 RPM.

Long write up but I had to tell the whole story.

Lets see if a scan disk fixes this ?

Still won't install though, Locked up this time. After it dies or locks it also can't find that hard drive anymore in bios or when its posting until I unplug the computer for a couple minutes.

Thank god I got all my Data off the drive before it starting acting really wacky.

I was only sending it back cause the noise was driving me insane.

One of these days it will crash and burn but today it's very quiet. Thanks to cd burners I am not to concerned if it dies.
