So I’ve been doing a fair bit of Computational Adjustments myself recently, with some results that may or may not be interesting.
This all began a few months ago when I finally gave up on Norton AV which was point-blank refusing to allow me to pay for another year’s service, so I installed AVG from Grisoft. Which promptly allowed in a virus which wiped the MBRs of three hard discs. I got the data back with a very useful widget called GetbackNTFS – highly recommended – and just did a new install of Windows XP on the C: drive. Which promptly went bang, as did one of my data discs.
The C: drive was an 8-year-old Maxtor and entitled to do so; the data disc was an 8 MONTH old Samsung, and not so entitled. Now, suffice to say, this computer has three 200 gigabyte Maxtor HDs and I have a claim in against Samsung.
