DRUID is probably Disk Druid, a partitioning program used by Red Hat (and
perhaps some of the RH derivatives?). If you set up your drive using fdisk
or cfdisk, you avoided use of Disk Druid and you needn't worry about it.
BTW, someone who I assume is your friend sent me a privat message describing
the symptoms of Maxtor failures in slightly more detail than your original
question provided. I sent him a reply asking for more info, but I haven't
heard back. Before I decided if the drives were dead or simply
misconfigured, I'd want someone knowledgeable to look at them using fdisk
and possibly Maxtor's own troubleshooting tools (available from www.maxtor.com).
