roflmao, in the freezer huh!? well ive never heard of that one before
well funnily enough i have 4 HD's at home all failed
HD1 - 40gb maxtor - No power
HD2 - 7.4gg Samsung - Circuit Board Snapped
HD3 - 4.1gb Seagate - No Power
HD4 - 560mb!! Connor Peripheral - error prone
i know it aint much storage but would of came in quite handy as a raid configuration

my 560mb HD i actually use as a slave to put all my web templates on, you just have to make sure windows doesnt do scandisk!
Coincidentally, i am pretty much a windows fanboy, but i also have redhat 9 which i bought a while ago (£30 omg), i used to use windows XP and experienced system failure on average once a month, now as you can imagine i was'nt the most happy fellow after this so i migrated to windows 2000 pro and have never had any problems, its a very stable operating system
i would migrate to linux only, except for the lack of DW support and games, (wine is not as good as everyone says)
