raptor problem

[libotte]

Bought a raptor for my os drive about 2 month ago

Was using windows 2000 at first and every file on the system simply dissapeared.

So I tryed installing windows xp and it works great no problems at all. Today I recieved a copy of ubuntu and partition magic 8 (powerquest) went into partition magic and the raptops file system shows up as "BAD" and wont do a thing

tryed fixmbr and fixboot hoping they might do something but didnt work I dont understand it

edited out rant!

well that raptor has died now wont post with it in "lucky" I ghosted it about 3 hours before this happened and received a new hard drive this morning (not that its lucky its died)

Raptors seem to die left right and center thought had mine since feb dead friends had 2 since last month (now on 7200.10) and a work college who had one now using some maxtor.

Ive had two die on me, one 74 and one 150, at moment using another 74 as windows/games but thinking of getting the Samsung spinpoint as another for vista....
