There has been some complaints > on this list about IBM-disks fabricated in Hungary. It's not just the disks made in Hungary, I've had 3 IBM drives go bad on me in the last week after 3-4 months of operation 2 15GB 75GXPs made in Thailand (bad sectors), 1 40GB 40GV also made in Thailand (started making bad scratching noise, BIOS wouldn't detect it after that). Still have a number of the 75GXPs in service, but I'm keeping my eye on them. Kristian's problem looks like it could be hardware problems of some sort leading to corruption. -Dave
