I turned on my computer this morning to check email before headning to work. The startup screen told me "S.M.A.R.T. warning - your disk is developing a problem. It has all of your MP3s on it and large swathes of video. Please go and spend money you don't have on replacing it."

I sighed, logged on and downloaded IBMs disk analyser, which told me "Disk problem, backup and replace immediately"

So I'll be going to Silicon Group this afternoon and spending £80 I don't have.

Dammit.

Not Silicon!!!!!!!

I use dabs myself when I can. But I really need this drive tonight. And there's nothing silicon can do to a hard drive. I wouldn't buy a whole computer off of them, but hard drives are fairly failproof.
