I'll agree that's what it sounds like. Though it's not THAT much of a coincidence. Installing a new OS does a LOT of reading and writing to the drive, including a lot of writing to sectors that are usually fairly static when just using the OS.
It's probably more likely for a drive to fail under the larger workload of installing an OS than just, say, caching a web page. ~ Chris Innanen ~ Nonsanity On Wed, Jun 8, 2011 at 2:02 PM, Bob Sneidar <b...@twft.com> wrote: > That sounds like a bad drive.
