by Is this a problem with your HDD?
Yes. get a replacement came the first reply, not too helpful, maybe this
is. GET A REPLACEMENT.
I once had a bank of four 1GB Maxtor HDD's, got them cheap, all four
failed, either in my system, or in friends who I passed them on to.
By contrast, old IBM drives I was using four years ago are still in
active service, as are older seagate and WD.
I now run an IBM SCSI 2GB, worth every penny, fast, silent, and
reliable.

'With Windows 95, I have to reboot every couple of
hours, often have to restart after only a minor change
and can run Doom. With Linux, it doesn't crash, is a
mail server, ftp server, web server, has dial in and
out capabilities, and runs X Windows and plays Doom
at the same time. Why do you still run '95?'
