If I disappear for a few days....

... my trusty Western Digital 180GB primary HDD appears to be failing on me. The last few times I've restarted my computer it's run a scandisk on it. Well, this time there were several bad sectors, quite a bit of lost information and quite a bit of recovered files from orphaned sectors.

So, I'm backing up everything important to my external drive, and then tonight hopefully I'll be picking up a WD 320GB drive to replace it.

Guess my son's laptop HDD and CDROM wait until next payday.....
