Yeah, i remember reading the /. story on this. Quite funny.Sxotty said:There was also a rumor at one point that certain drives were simply rebadged, and had an unused platter inside them. Or some such thing. It turned out that it was actually some overzealous users and Norton Ghost that made a small partition that reported its size as being huge though it wasn't. When they wrote to the partition, it expanded to fit whatever they wrote, but did so y gobbling up the existing partition. (If you understand what I mean)

I've used all sorts of Maxtor and I have come to realize that I will never buy one of their drives again. It's Western Digital all the way for me now. Sorry, just had to get this off my chest. Felt goooood.
