Originally posted by leeler Mikeyboy, I'm in the process of doing the low level format now. I'm unsure of how to do this exactly so I removed the hard drive and sent it along to someone to do it for me. I hope to have it back this weekend. I also decided to add a fan while I have it open. Hopefully this will cure it. I'll post back here once I know for sure. |
Originally posted by drmckenzie Mikeyboy, Just to clarify: My 100GB upgrade began to stutter; I copied the software image from the 100GB drive to another disk; low-level formated the 100GB (Maxtor utilities); then copied the software image back to the 100GB. So I am running the same drive, which has had bad sectors fixed and marked (hopefully) by the utilities, but with the old software image. So far it's been pretty good. |
Originally posted by mchurchm Is there any significant difference between having a fan blow air into the unit vs. having it blow air out of the unit? I currently have mine pointed so it blows air out of the unit, and I only chose that way because I read a post somewhere that said this was preferable. Will there be any noticeable difference (noise or temperature)? Should I switch it to blow air in? |
