To save you from future problems, buy an HDD for which newegg reviews of 1-star do not exceed 10%. HDDs that have 20% of 1-star reviews are drives prone to be dead in a few months, as you can check by the comments. Unfortunately manufactures seem to be skipping on QA a lot these days.<div>

My hard disk seems to have failed, it started making random loud<br>
noises and is now refusing to boot. I am currently booted off a Live<br>
CD and chatting with an HP tech. Hopefully we can get the new hardware<br>
in quickly so I can continue with TDE and my other Linux projects.<br>
