Ok im very pissed sorry for posting twice in a row but im about sue hp because of a second faulty harddrive problem.
Harddrives should last at least 2 years but in my first hp it only lasted 1 year. So when that died it was out dated for gaming so i went and bought a $2500 hp media center and it was wonderfull for a time.
It started to show some problems but then stoped and I thought it woud be fine but in 1 month while I was trying to creat recovery dvds 1 finished the forst one but it was around 12:00 and it would take 2 more hrs on the next one so i just stoped it.
I decided i wanted to listen to some music but when i went to play it the sound was all distorted I checked my speekers and everything but nothing was wrong. the mouse moes across the screen glitchy and things take much longer to load.
My games are also very glitchy I ran a scan using pc docter on the hardrive and when it got to the surface scan it wouldent go past 0% which is not good.
This is the second time I have recived a faulty harddrive from hp and im very pissed so if any of you have had problems with hp please tell me so i can call thier company and let them know about this problem.
