Why Me?

I had my trusty old laptop die about a month ago with a bad discrete display adapter. I replaced it with a refurbished (dirt cheap) desktop. It ran without a hitch. Unfortunately, it in a smaller case without room for another hard drive for my movies and the like. I purchased a relatively large external hard drive to help with this problem. I got the drive home and connected it up to the computer and UPS and was detected and ran normally. I installed some updates and rebooted the computer and the drive was not recognized. I ran all the diagnostics and it turns out that the drive inside the enclosure had died. It seems like the old story of the mechanic who is so busy working on everyone else's car that his barely runs.

Sorry about the rant but I am really frustrated because I have almost an hour drive each way to return the 48 hour old drive.

That sucks nuts!

At least you didn't get everything on it and then it died. I've been kicking around the idea of getting a new box... If we hadn't of gotten a PS3, I probably would have as mine won't run system heavy games that well. At least not some of the newer ones.
