Thanks guys - I'll still most likely be snagging a new drive, but it's nice to know that I *probably* don't have to worry about a drive crash in the next 18 hours. -Lutrosis

Could games corrupt WinXP?

We recently got a Dell P4 2.0 ghz w/ GF2 and WinXP. 'The most stable operating system ever' crashed on a fairly regular basis, taking a special dislike for Serious Sam 2 and Jedi Knight. I had recently begun to suspect a problem with the hard drive, as it was making suspicious noises (every now...
