Greetings. I have just managed to lose all my data.
In preparation for upgrading my Linux installation, I bought and
installed a WD USB 500 GB external drive. I copied all my data from my
SuSE 9.2 partition to the external drive. I rebooted to my WinXP HE
partition and saved my data to the
Larry, I have sourced and bought hundreds of disks drives for about
twenty years. Early on, the going was rough; many failures. Today,
drives are much more reliable. My point about the (fictitious) 72 Chevy
was that I too have seen manufactures go through bad stretches, but
don't pay much
i have come to like maxtor. their turn around time on the failures is very
short. we buy drives of the same physical shape, as maxtor wants the returns
in the original packing

My experiences with Seagate are based upon about 20 consecutive
failures (by Sun workstation serial number) about 10 years ago. After
the first 5 or so, Sun contacted us and started to proactively replace
workstation hard drives - all by Seagate.
I've worked with Sun workstations and servers
Why does this just sound _odd_? It's like you've had so many failures
you've learned their habits. Really, that can't be a Good Thing. But
it sounds like why I stopped using Maxtors (cheap, but at what cost?).
Have you even _tried_ other brands?
In some 5-10 years of external video drives

What's that Silverlight crap? Is it a wrapper that breaks Flash? Forget
it. Never liked Seinfeld--nothing personal.
I think I get it. This is a $300M ad campaign about

Daughter bought a MacBook Pro a year ago and purchased a 3-year
warranty. Now, (1) DVD burner sometimes works, sometimes doesn't and
(2) there are dead pixels showing on the screen. She went to the Apple
store in Tysons Corner, waited 3 hours to see someone, and was told to
burn all the data
I'd say this is a pretty piss poor excuse for an Apple store. Or at
least the employees they have working there are. Here on the west
coast my only option in my town is an Apple certified reseller.
Whenever I've had a problem that was under warrantee all I had to do
was drop off the

Mike - I had the same idea but there doesn't seem to be any missing
Is there any chance that when you were drag/dropping the files to the external
hard drive, all you were really doing was creating shortcuts/aliases to the
original files in their original locations?
If the files have real value to you, don't mess with the external drive at all.
You may just
P.S. I misunderstood daughter. The MacBook Pro does not have a DVD
burner, only the CD burner that came with it. She was told to backup
data to CDs. All other info correct.
