No way! I've got so much room I get lost in the woods! The Seagate is new, checks out okay with every drive testing software I can lay my hands on.

Got bored sitting there, watching it play with the disk. > If it's not either of those, we can look in more detail at other things. I'll try the trick I mentioned above and report back to you. > BTW: That's not a Beta Redhat is it? Nope.
