    I think that the problem ones were the early 7200RPM models?
    Yup. Your old one is fine. The ones made from about 2 years before they got bought out my maxtor until the time they were all making maxtor products in there factory is when the problem ones. They would literally BURN. Quantam named them right (fireballs). Kind of funny how accurate they managed to name there own product

    I can't load windows. It is starting only in save mode .
    That is my second HDD that brake down this week. First it was my Deskstar 28GB and now that one. Oh damn why always before Christmas?
    Thank GOD that my 13GB Quantum is still working.

    hmmm... ugh

    A certain batch of the IBM deskstar series is indeed known for their early failures.
    But Quantum, probably only the latest when they already made the Maxtor ones (I have had several Maxtors diamondmax 8 series failing) had problems. The earlier Quantum disks were superb. I have SCSI quantum disks like the Quantum prodrive with a 'giant' capacity of 150MB (only to indicate how old they are) still spining. Not one of the SCSI quantums I ever owned burned.

    Yes, but when i bought I didn't know that! I bought it because I had 28GB IBM Deskstar(i still have it - and it brake down the same week as the 80GB Why always before christmas?) and it was working just PERFECT!

    And now i have to wait one week for a SAMSUNG!
