More hardware woes

We had the hard drive that has the user's home drive fail a while back (just before we moved to the new house). Thankfully, I was able to run CHKDSK on it and saved the files. To my dismay, I found that this drive is a Maxtor. Well, I'm sticking to only Seagate hard drives from now on. I really don't care how much cheaper Maxtor is, Seagate drives have only failed on me once. I had a stack of 6 Maxtor drives that had failed in the last 3 years. As you can imagine, I'm pissed off.

I went an ordered a 500 gig SATA Seagate drive, and it was delivered to me on Wednesday. To my horror, I didn't realize that the server didn't have any SATA  jacks on the motherboard. AAAARRRGGGGHHH! So, now I need to buy a SATA card. Thankfully, there are a few in town. I'll probably pick one up at OfficeMax on my way home from work.

This hard drive is the one that contains everybody's Outlook PST file, so I can't get attachments until the new one is installed and the files transferred over from the old one.
