Hello
Just an advise.
My experience working with Fujitsu IDE HDD: Dont trust any Fujitsu IDE, 3,5"
HDD > 6.4 GB. The best of them is a risk to use it. Save your information,
if you can, and change to other brand.
We have had thousands of Fujitsu IDE HDD 10, 15, 20, 30, & 40 GB. Aprox. 70%
of them were rejected by customers because of data loss, random detection
errors, etc. Other 15% is still being rejected because of panic created.
Now wew are using Maxtor HDD which are not the best but at least are working
OK.
