Ok I'm extremely irked.
Friday afternoon the classiccmp server decided it didn't have a slave drive.
It has done this once or twice before, for some reason the system can't see
the drive anymore so it flags it as non-existent. Usually after a reboot it
goes fine for a few months at least. Most odd. I'm guessing it's the crappy
Western Digital 160gb drive I bought. Don't think I'll be getting any more
Western Digital for a while.
I worked on a friend's machine this weekend and found a crapped out 80
Gb WD drive. The BIOS would recognize the drive but when he tried to boot
it said there was no drive attached. My new WD 60 Gb WD drive crapped out
after about 6 weeks on intermitant use. I'm finding out that the WD drives
built in the last couple of years are junk.
