That site needs some MAJOR help. I just got a Maxtor 46 gig HD from
compgeeks.com. Spent most of Friday in a futile effort to get it
installed. The "online help guide" was pretty useless. It neglected to
warn me that their EZ-BIOS install-help-thingy would completely torch the
master boot record of my machine. It won't even let me boot off a floppy.
Suffice to say the HD is going back.
