Evil bad? As in what way? Like, totally, totally drained...to the point that it has become a black hole sucking the life out of my system?

Black Hole - bad.

I left it in the computer all day with the adapter plugged in...still would not charge.



Any thoughts as to how I can resurrect the hard drive in my duo dock
that this battery has apparently somehow killed? It's completely
disappeared off my desktop. Norton's found it last night, called it
damaged and could not repair it. Today, even Norton's can't find it.
The OS is having trouble recognising the floppy drive in the dock as
well. My next step is to reinstall my system software onto the 280c
drive, as I'm theorizing that perhaps the disk drivers have been
corrupted.

probably a conicidence the drive went south at the same time. To install, I pop the top off the dock and use a SCSI cable to string up a CD Drive and install that way.

I think you are right. After thrashing around with it for the past few days I booted it up a half hour ago with the intention of reinstalling my OS onto the duo drive...and there was the dock drive on my desktop! I think there is something loose inside the dock.


As for the floppy, it is still dead, but I can live without that.

Thanks for all your suggestions. As for the battery I am going to try to get it fixed under warranty.
