you know it does exactly what he said it would, bruit force. and in therory it will work it just might take 6 years, but it does exactly what he said it would. Im running vista ultimate, a legit version. and it wouldnt be worth the waite for the brute force any how, vista sux, i have a system that can blow the socks off most systems in xp. but under vista its slow and just dont cut it for gaming.
this is not isolated i have a Maxtor diamondmax 10 160 GB and the exact same thing happened to me the same chip the same flames and smoke and horrible smell. Im thinking design flaw. Sad part is my drive was 1 month out of warranty and i have about 30 gigs of family photos on there it was my back up drive and i didn't have them on my mail drive for lack of space the the time.
