<p class=MsoNormal>I have a not-so-quick question:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have an external USB hard drive (Lacie) that is not
stable.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I replaced the hard drive inside, but I am still getting the
same problem.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Under Windoze it does not format. I can format it NTFS
under Linux.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>When I move the drive back to Windoze I keep getting
‘delayed write failure’s.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This is the fourth case I have tried (over two drive
mechanisms) and I’m seeing the same problems.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Does anyone have experience with this? What should I
look at?<o:p></o:p></p>
