Could it be a misconfigured BIOS? (it happens out of the blue too)

I'm waiting for Homey to surface for his advice. I have a track record for destroying computer components just by looking at them. Anything I would do would only make things worse.

Sorry, Luis. Hit the wrong button, that's why it says I edited you.

This would be unlikely, as the mobo is far less than a year old, but I'll certainly investigate that before we buy a new HD.

4 HD's in, like, 3 years. I swear to God, you have your own personal fucking magnetic field. Some of those were even SCSI....

Damn man. I've got one 30 gig that's going on 5 years old and a 40 that's going on 4. There has got to be something to the magnetic field thing around you.

Don't say that, now you've jinxed yourself.

I've got a couple of 6.5 gig Seagates from the old pentium days myself and a 580MB drive from a 486 in a box here somewhere that works too.

I could probably break free a 8 GB if it's needed.
