Default Hard drive failure :(

This is the first time I have ver burnt out a hard drive

Old 10 gig that came in an EMachine I use...I guess it was bound to happen after 5 years but it did better than I thought

Yeah I had a lot of stuff on there (mostly programs) I figure its not so bad really though.

I had just gotten done reformatting too just to see if it had gotten too full but it didn't help at all....it had been running near full on the C drive for about 5 months or so.

Actually I needed to ditch most of the programs anyways because I rarely used them...the thing thats gonna suck is reformatting 160 gigs off my second drive.

Besides a little creative searching on Kazaa and all the programs will be back in about a weekh:
