Hard drive failure

Re: Hard drive failure

That is nonsense beanz, you think products that got rma'd will go through "serial validity" tests. I'd like to know ONE person who became a victim of that. Such crap.

I didn't say it will always happen. I said it can and apparently it has happened (reported by people, not myself) but I haven't witnessed it first hand. If you feel so inclined, you might want to read my post next time. Thanks again, kiddo.

No, it turned out that somehow a floppy found itself a way into the drive and the puter must have rebooted after one of those windows auto updates.

But to defend beanz a bit, I have heard of people who have gotten busted with kiddie porn on their drives/computers that were sent in for repair. Though I don't know of anyone with just pirated software, its not that hard for me to imagine it happening.

I hate those auto updates and those reboots. I somehow had that turned on by Norton Update once before. I shut that bitch down.

thats something entirely different, PCs going for a fix will HAVE to be booted up to check for errors, an RMA'd Hard Drive is "usually" a HD that doesn't load and if the diagnosis software (most of them are in Dos format) is unable ti fix it, then they pop the sucker open to evaluate for hardware errors and reformat the drive.

But I have NEVER hear of any reports of people sending their HDs in for an RMA that the techs at Maxtor and Western Digital or ANY freakin hard drive company sits at his desk with a bunch of broken hard drives and goes through a serial validating process of software. Can you IMAGINE the financial overhead for a company to do something of this sort that they wont even get any freakin return for ?

Kiddie porn is totally different, there's a sicko on the run and needs to be busted, but I wont buy beanz story for one second, no matter how you disguise in terms of "reports" and "people are saying". Yea people are saying they dug to the core of the earth and found Lucifer.
