Called DELL for warranty service on my business pc. It only took 15 minutes for them to schedule a hard drive replacement for tomorrow. :-)

RAID 1 FTMFW!

You lucked out Anthony. It usually takes me 3 calls, 2 escalations, a formal written notice, and extensive high blood pressure to get action on extended warranties.

I'm not looking forward to my call to replace the hd on the "family" pc at home. I've been putting it off. It's going to be very frustrating, not to mention the b.s. of having to reload everything. Perhaps I'll do it when you come down next month. ;-)

the hell is a RAID 1 and do I need one?

WECoyote-SuperGenius · 01-28-2008, 06:03 AM

you don't lose anything and the pc keeps working. When the new blank hd is installed, it will copy everything from the working hd. No reloading of operating system and programs, etc and no lost files.

diagnostic on the hd's at start up and when that failed, he authorized the replacement. Oh, and the drive that failed was the main hd, so if I didn't buy the raid set up, I would have been in a world of sh*t, even if the important files were backed up to an external hd, on a regular basis.

The support person had me run one ...... diagnostic on the hd's at start up and when that failed, he authorized the replacement.
