My Hard drive just croaked on me... Well actualy it's still sort of working but it have several bad sectors and even Scandisk crash once it encounter them, and the BIOS keeps flashing warnings at me when I boot up about "iminent drive failure"...

The damn thing is only about 3 months old to! I'd be supriced if I don't get a replacement from Segate or the store I bought it from, but it's still damned inconvenient... Fortunately I had a new disk lying around that I have been trying to put into a portable USB kit, and none of my important files where affected, so after spending most of the day physicaly swapping the drives around (slave, master, slave and then master again (backing up files), re-installing Windows (and getting a new bloody registration id from M$ over the phone seeng as the old one was "used up" after activating the previous install), drivers, patches, updates, and software I'm almost back to full operational status...

Dang it's 1:19 and I have to get up at 06:00 tomorow and go to work too... Better go to bed, just wanted to blow off some steam first :)

*Tries one last time to contact the ASUS live update site, then give up and staggers off to bed*
