RE: Odd HDD failure (I think)

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxx>]

For my problem it can't be anything else as the hardware is completely
diff=
erent and the O/S and software is different - only thing the two boxes
shar=
ed was a mains lead and supply from a UPS.

Mmm - I think I'll get the HDD replaced under warranty anyway.

Good luck to you too! :)

Paul.
