One of my 500GB drives was acting wonky and wasn’t working very well, so I removed it from the fstab, and unlisted the partitions in windows. There was a funky HDD light on the front of my PC then, but no worries… until today when it not only didn’t want to work, but it also didn’t want the rest of the system to do anything.

At first it seemed as if I were dealing with an overheating issue. Took the drive out and everything is hunky-dory. Bastard Maxtor drive that I don’t have the warranty information for! (It is less than a year old, IIRC.)

Damn.
