Hey Guys
I came home candidly with my new i7 860 and p55 motherboard this morning and install it all. Won't boot into windows, no worries, I'll just reformat it while having lunch. Come back and the thing is fudged. The HDD won't even turn on, I presume fried, but how? So out I went to buy another 1TB from the store, load it up to windows and that's where I am now. I'll have to RMA the thing on monday. Anybody had any experiences like this? It is quite odd. On the other hand, this i7 860 is the bomb!

Not all of them had the issue, it was a certain lot, and they resolved the issue. So they are getting rarer to find.
Storage is a necesity in modern times. I remember well when a pc had a 800m HDD and you could get everything on it. ( And smaller! ) I have to laugh at one of my servers, It's got two 9.1g fireballs in it. 10k baby! These are OLD too... 30 second spinup times. lol... -------------------- Evils Lair Q6700 @ ?? | Masscool 8WA741 | Coming soon - Biostar i45 | 4x1g OCZ Plat Rev.2 | EVGA 8800GTS 640m | 7 Ult. x64 P4 631 3.0 | Igloo 5610 PWM | Coming soon - XFX 680i SLI LT | 2x1g Ultra OC PC-6400 | EVGA 8800 GTS 640m | Vista Ult x32 Dell Optiplex - E2180 - 2x1g - Win XP Home / Win XP Pro IBM Netvista - P4 1.8 - 2x512m - Win XP Black IBM Netvista - P4 1.8 - 2x512m - Win Server 03 IBM NetVista - P4 1.8 - 2x512m - Win Server 03 HEATWARE : pur3vil |

The only issue I had with my Segate, was the fact that my SATA cable kept getting lose.
