Btw, my pc is making weird noises and behaving oddly. I don't think it's the hdd and it could be a bunch of separate issues but who knows. Though it was probably the combo of "Virtual box + Guest Additions" + Boinc that caused it to freeze. Since then, I've purged the pc of all three items. Geez, Peter and Gal, having fun being a "lama", are you?

My old monitor needs more & more longer to become "enlightened", so to say. I'm beginning to become a bit worried. I bought it with my PC in 1999. So far I'm really proud it still holds together, so to say. Hmmm... How long before it can be labelled antique? ;D

Dos... lol. Sorry but Linux commands triumph Dos. You can even do a search through the history instead of memorising everything repeatedly. Too bad Ubuntu refuses to recognise my Western digital IDE hard disk or I'd be using it over WinXP any day now for daily functioning.

This just in... the hard disk is officially bricked and I couldn't recover a single file(not even with testdisk lol!). I think I'm going to RMA it and sell the drive off when I get it back. I really have the worst of luck with Seagate.

That's too bad, luce.
Hopefully not too much important data was lost on that specific drive?

why stop at 640GB? get a terrabyte! ;D
u're right, Sonar Chix, linux beats ms any time of the day when it comes to data recovery (barring physical hard drive crash, of course). i have a friend who could recover her data from her windows system via linux without problem.
funny that u mentioned Ubuntu can't read your HD. which version did u use? version 8 or later can read NTFS.
