    I've had my fair share of Maxtor drives die. I just had an 80Gb die that has it's warranty expire in December. I just do an RMA and they send me a new one. I send them the dead one back. All it costs me is shipping.

    3 year warranty for maxtor.

    my harrdrive no idea what brand, its 40gb, its lasted over 4years.
    i never defrag my shiet, also, i used to have a lot of spyware and shiet,

    also it says i should do a disk cleanup before windows starts, but i cancel everytime, everytime i boot at startup it says, cannot boot disk, error or something, but it still works after restarting once.

    also im missing some dlls for windows haha, i cant ebelieve my comp works

    this is not relevant but i love my hdd.

    its a maxtor btw just looked.

    mrush2004, good lord. you're a disaster

    -has 40gb hdd for PC
    -never defrags
    -used to have a lot of spyware
    -is obviously running low on disk space, because the disk clean up always comes up
    -says it cannot boot disk
    -missing dll's for windows
    -is probably homosexual j/k

    dude, you sound like you're using windows 95

    no man, i use windows xp
    i dont know why dlls is gone they just are lol,
    i cant even run in safemode cause it says im missing all these dlls or some shiet,
    also i have a lot of space left, like 8gbs, i dont do much on this comp, only to dwl shiet and chat,

    at least my harddrive hasnt crashed haha

    im not sure if its disk cleanup, but its like some sort of check for the C: like ntfs some crap cause there might be errors and they advise me to do the check. it takes way too long so i dont bother.

    and if u dont return the broken HD.... WD only chares u a fraction of the cost for the new HD.... another words... if u clam u have a messed up HD and do the RMA and they send you the new HD... dont return the "old" one (it still works) and then u only pay half retail cost for a NEW HD.. trust me , it works... i did it for a friend
