Imagemodserver is gone, but executron and C&R have mirrors.

I do have the committee game installed on a CD-RW, so it still exists.

Yeah, the rest of the computer is mirrors, but they are pretty solid.

guys try this

FIRE is a portable bootable cdrom based distribution with the goal of providing an immediate environment to perform forensic analysis, incident response, data recovery, virus scanning and vulnerability assessment.
Also provides necessary tools for live forensics/analysis on win32, sparc solaris and x86 linux hosts just by mounting the cdrom and using trusted static binaries available in /statbins.

While it may not be the problem in this case, old RAM can cause some pretty strange problems, including sporadic (or even not-so-sporadic) failures to boot.

I just recently got an older system up and running that had given me grief for a long time. I replaced every piece of it, including the case and power supply, but didn't think to change the RAM. I had all kinds of odd problems, including frequent failures to boot. Then, I got smart and changed the RAM out, and it works like a champ.

Please, no body takes this the wrong way.

All, of whom that has lost a Hard Drive, should compare notes, on any files that are in common, that have received, downloaded, opened, or shared.

Default Re: Yet another victim.

The point of all of this should be the importance of backing up to removable media. As the price of IDE hard drives has fallen, so has the reliability. What used to be a rarity is now quite common. If you have a system that is used every day, you have a 1 in 12 chance of writing off a boot drive over a five year period. If you spend time writing code, or even DL’ing files, you should back up your data.

Thermodyne,
What you say about the qualty / price reminds me of the 170MB Quantum I have. Can't remember the price but I was using Windows 386. It still runs on the same system though I only fire her up for show now.
It is on this system:

Well, my computer is in an air conditioned room, with plenty of ventilation.

Time for a discussion on What are the best/worst drives to buy...

The one I just lost (after 6 months) is a Maxtor, the sixth drive I've had in this case.
