Stupid piece of crap drive.

I put it in a USB enclosure a while ago now and everything's been peachy. Last night I reboot and the same chkdsk error pops up upon XP reboot. I skipped the scan and now I'm getting pop-up balloons in the system tray telling me various files are corrupt.

A new drive is on the way and I'll be copying the remaining files over to that one. Then I'll either RMA or shotgun the old drive... I don't know which method would be more satisfying... I'm cheap. But shooting the hell out of this drive with a 12 gauge sounds like more fun!

hmmm... any donations? If I get $100 US in my Paypal I'll take this drive out and videotape me shooting the crap out of it... starting with a .22 and then finishing with a 12 gauge. Actually I'll do the same with my old motherboard as well that I despise so much.

I'm trying to put a video of a past frustration shooting on a monitor online. I'll link to it here as soon as I get it online.
