Have you ever danced with the tester by the pale moon light?

Tuesday 15 September 2009 - Soo....how many do you actually have? Aw go on, tell me.

At the moment I have a desktop machine and a netbook. I've got Ubuntu running on the netbook and I had WinXP on the desktop. I decided to wipe the desktop clean and stick Ubuntu onto it. The powers that be decided that it was not to be and the HDD lost it's partitions and just won't repartition. I tried a number of things, zapping the MBR, tried a few different tools, Testdisk, etc. It just shows up as a RAW drive. For the time being I'm moving on and I'm ordering a new HDD today. I was checking out a few different sites for prices as you do. I've gone onto Amazon, they've apparently decided that the number of different drives they have a is a secret for themselves and only themselves, you will never ever know you eager beaver shopper. What's it to you anyway? Mind your own!

 

I'm so confused.  If I was to select 'By Capacity' should that give me both SATA and IDE drives?  Then shouldn't the number of IDE and SATA drives added together match the number of results for 'by Capacity'?

And what results are you showing me? 1-24 of 3,946? What? Where's 3,946 come from?

As you start scrolling through and see random HDD related items showing up you start to think that maybe there could be some fine tuning needed.

I like this one though, picture is a bit small but anybody know who it is? Is his name Tank or Gateway or something along those lines?
