solarbird: (molly-angry)
Anybody local got a spare Wintel machine with an IDE controller in it? If you do, do you mind horribly if I come install a b0rken drive and run Maxtor's idiotic little drive tester? Maxtor won't let me return this bad drive without running their Windows-only diagnostic toy to say, "yep! it's br0ke!" And the only Windows box we have around here that isn't a laptop is SCSI-only.

(HI YES I REALLY DO KNOW IT HAS SURFACE ERRORS, IT SAID SO BEFORE IT DIED. KTHXFKU.)

Alternatively, if anyone knows the eight-digit PowerMax diagnostic code for "yes, this drive is, in fact, fucked," I'd take that too. Thanks.
