Hello All
        I have a problem which has been driving me crazy.About two months ago I
replaced my 4xCD with a 24xCyberdrive CD and all seemed well, I then
swapped out
my K5 fo an IBM686MX P200. Shortly after, the system kept crashing and
scandisk
started to pick up bad clusters. My supplier changed the hard drive(seagate
UDMA)
for a Quantum Fieball, but soon afterwards the same thing started again.
I've
changed
the processor(to a K6200) and the ram(32sdram) but things are getting
worse.
I now have an error message on bootup which ends "status capable and BAD
backup and replace.  Press f1 to continue"  from there it continues to boot
as normal.
The cyberdrive vibrates on some disks and I am unable to use them,
occasionaly
I get blue screen error messages "Unable to write to drive C"
        Could the vibration fom the CD be causing physical damage to the hard
drive?, could I be unlucky enough to get two bad hard drives?,any ideas----
Please?
        ( TX Pro m/b, S3 vid card, azdec s/c)
                        Thanks
