This is the second Maxtor drive which just after 12month gets noisy and soon after dies.

I may go down the three HD route all about 200gb if I can, and follow the path Zingle mentioned previously.

Just cost and time, I've an house to get decorated and sorted but my hobbies are gaming and when I come and sit down get into a good game on Halo only for the HD to be grinding away then a lock up....

Today done a full re-format and made sure I created a new partition and did the longer format to ntfs, since I've got back into windows its alot quicker, but still noisy
