Oh yes, wierd things popping up, you need to RMA that hard drive.

Try again, fucknuts.
You need to install Windows XP onto a primary partition, in fact the second 
partition should be primary too.
Are you some sort of win98 gooroo or summatt?

No need to fucking shout about it here. RMA the cunt and hope for the best.
Take garry glitter precautions first though, eh!

Western digital, you say?
More fool you, you fucking Jew cunt.
Buy a proper large hard drive from a reputable manufacturer and from a 
reputable source too.

London to brick the drive is overheating either because western digital are 
shit, which they are or you didnt install it correctly.

Your drive isn't huge, get over it for fuck sake. No one's impressed.

A lmon would have been both cheaper, tastier and more reliable.
You bought a piece of shit, there's no surprisees if such a drive fails, 
honestly.

You wittered on for about 20 minutes about the fucking thing and didn't care 
to consider that hot hard drives are fucked hard drives? Why on earth didn't 
you put that in the subject line. You could have saved everyone a lot of 
time.

Many utilities, I use Everest. Dtemp is the one for Jews and peasants, it's 
free.
Download Dtemp and use it to check the SMART logs too.

Best advice is to buy a 1TB drive from a reputable supplier, RMA the western 
digital POS and sell what you get back on ebay for about 250 Rand.

You might find that using a smaller, single platter hard drive for the 
operating system and a larger drive for your video stuff and other filth is 
a better setup. You'll need a proper PC Case so you can put the drives in 
properly.
