When good hard drives go bad
Thanks to a freak electrical problem which also rendered my fax machine useless, the C: drive in my newish Dell system is fried. This took 3 hours with Dell Support to figure out, however, so I guess I'm just happy it wasn't the motherboard. After installing a new hard drive and reinstalling Windows, I decided to reinsert the old drive to see if I could recover any data. No dice. On the good news side, Dell sent me a new hard drive that arrived the next morning at 9:30 am.
