Normally an average user would think, disk is either good or bad, right?
Not quite so.
I am wondering now, what if w'7 (or whatever) fails again to access it again in the future?.. I will definitely keep XP on my desktop, or install Linux on at least one of my machines.
BTW, I was thinking about getting some sort of storage controller, perhaps a box with couple of HD’s that are accessible via LAN.
My ADSL modem has USB, where I am having 1TB HD for exactly that purpose. The issue is the speed, data transfer seems to be too slow, so I am not using it very often (BTW, this drive has the same issue with w’7, can’t be accessed from USB port directly).
