This baby is barely over a month old (just past return to COMPUSA window) and it already crapped out on me. What is up with these mfgrs that they can't figure out how to use a decent drive in an expensive laptop? I just don't get it. Same thing happened to me with my Asus laptop. Known crappy drive in very expensive laptop.
Have DVD in, machine hangs on boot screen in XP or Vista. Pop out DVD, finishes booting on both. Put DVD in (within booted OS) and sometime is reads it and sometimes it doesn't-mostly doesn't. There's no way that I will let any monkeys at HP touch this, it took me days to build.
Any suggestions for replacement? I'm guessing I can replace it from the Egg for about the same price it will cost me to ship, not to mention downtime. Will they do a cross-ship of a new one? I've never dealt with their support and I'm dreading it.
Thanks.
