Is there any reason, other than being defective, that a HD will lose it's
partition info?

I have, on the primary IDE channel,  a WD 10gig ATA-66 5400rpm jumpered as
master, and a WD 20gig ATA-66 5400rpm jumpered as slave, and ,on the
secondary IDE channel, a CD-ROM jumpered as master and a CR-R/CR/RW jumpered
as slave.

The first setup I booted from floppy and ran FDISK and FORMAT.  The second
setup I booted from floppy using WD Data Lifeguard Tools to partition and
format the slave drive.  The longest amount of time the 20gig HD keept its
partition was a day and a half.

Any advice will be appreciated.
