    Well it seems that the old computers Hard drive had a virus or something, once I installed XP on it and switched it over to NTFS it took a hard crash, and one of the main windows files corrupted. So last night I had to format it it, took all night because it had to reallocate the entire hard drive... Needless to say I'm installing Anti-Virus on here today.

    Most HD vendors will warranty their drives for more then 2 years last I looked. Who makes it?

    Maxtor, Its well over 2 years, will probably around 4-5 to tell you the truth.. it was one of the first 7200rpm drives, and that was when 10gb was fairly large..
