I didnt think anythign of it so i kept burnign dvds even though it took 30 mins. after a week or two my Pc didnt want to boot. it would stay int he black screen saying disk boot error. i turn off and on a couple of time and then it booted . i had to do this every time i wanted to boot. i went in to the bios and somethign weird happen the segate HD( that one that was in the cd-rom bay) had all sorts of wierd charaters and its name. i got out of the bios entered again and it was fine. A week after turnign on and off to boot the pc, the pc wouldnt boot no matter how many time i try. I check my bois and my two WD HDs dispeared. I tested the drive at a freind pc and there were dead.
