I was mucking around with my wintel box and trying to figure if the HD was really fried or not (parts from different people/places) so like a wise guy I threw the drive into my G4 ... hell it's a MAC and can take a licken ... (more money pays for better parts )
G4 didn't like the drive either ... so plugin in the old drive again dead folder ... ? ... (errr .... blue screen of death)!!! 60 hours of work and applications bye-bye ...waaaaaaa [cry]
Went out and got me a slick Seagate Barracuda ATA IV 40GB and came home to find that my WesternDigital 10GB had a bent pin ... sh_t ... sh_t ... ohhh I was lucky. Waste of money but the work, time, files, installation time and configuration is worth more than a 40GB drive !!!
OH well, I'm gonna slap the 10giger into the wintel box ... and to boot I got me-self a faster and bigger master drive ... should see better system performance! and now look forward to rebuilding a system again.
wooooo thump thump -- beat beat ... heart returns to normal.
openoffice + gimp + sketch ...
