as long as you make sure and copy everything, you shouldn't lose anything. i'd highly suggest NOT using this drive until you get the replacement. depends on how you run your systems, presonally i keep the operating system seperate from all my data (makes reinstalls a lot easier
).
interesting... i've never had a problem with western digitals personally, although i have heard of a few die.
the ones i haven't had die have been maxtors... i haven't talked to anyone that has had a maxtor die (yet). i like western digital for their performance, but i'm starting to think i should switch all my storage drives over to maxtor or seagate or something
