Installed Vista Ultimate without a hitch. Installed the fiance's main played games as well: Team Fortress 2, The Sims, C&C, and Age of Empires and all work flawlessly.
Boots up strong and true every time. [so far so good]

Re: Stoked! Fixed Dead HDD!
Well, the party had to end sometime. I haven't really gotten a chance to look into it or anything, but when I got home the fiance said on bootup it showed some weird message and said something was wrong with the OS (couldn't get any more description).
It didn't do that for me, but while using the computer Vista said it detected hard drive failure, and the icons on desktop kept refreshing.
So I guess good things do end. But now that I've got my original data off I could care less I suppose.

Re: Stoked! Fixed Dead HDD!
Sry to be a thread Hijacker....But my laptop's HD has died on me 3 times. Can someone please call dell and tell them to stop buying Fujitsu OEM drives PLZ?!? Every time I get the same harddrive (RMA) and it blows out on me 2 months later.
It's like JFK announcing the moon mission. He had no expertise in space travel, and no way of knowing if it would work. He just announced "we're going to the moon" and then they made it happen because everyone was on the same page and working towards the same goal. If he had said "well, let's get some people in space, and we'll see how far out we can get, and if I find someone to make a rocket strong enough, we could possibly approach the moon's orbit and maybe land" it wouldn't have happened.

Fujitsu makes some good drives. They are used in large SCSI/SATA arrays in servers. Pick a different model or something. Could be the way they are shipping it, or too much shock during use.Originally Posted by knowledgegranted
