Moderators Andavari Posted November 12, 2007 Moderators Share Posted November 12, 2007 Probably not much of a problem if people format new disks (not just hard disks) that they get. Although it's an understandable pain if buying a new PC with an OS on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humpty Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I would boot with a Paragon live cd then delete all partitions and recreate/format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted November 14, 2007 Moderators Share Posted November 14, 2007 If these drives were internal ones it probably wouldn't matter because people would just reformat them as they installed their OS but these are external usb so as soon as you plug it in your screwed. You would think they would be using better manufacturers to avoid stuff like this(especially a big company like maxtor.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
