- Well, I have a Microscience 7100-20 IDE HD as well, as mine also come with 74K
- bad, but I kept it and now when I acess the HD it has a tendency to lock up.
- I.e.: the controller light comes on and stays on and it locks up the system or
- the system says the controller is not responding. Does your HD make lots of
- noise, because mine does, every time I turn on the system. Lastly, do you know
- how I can get in touch with Microscience, so I can see if they can fix my
- drive.
