Damnit.. I've killed another one

How the hell do I manage it? I've just about killed another hard disk. I'm lucky if they last me a year and a half at most. *sigh*

Ahh well, that other place what we don't talk about has some fairly cheap. I don't download movies and porn and the like so there is no need to splash out on a 500GB hdd. I just wish I knew how I managed it. I know guys that have had the same HDD for 5 years.

Thankfully I'm a paranoid type (and used to disks dying on me) so I have a 40GB IDE drive sitting in the case which I routinely use "robocopy" to mirror my e-mails and docs onto.... and now has this windows install on it
