Harddisk problem solved!

[redarrow]

Hi,

I posted some time ago about my strange hardisk problem... right here.

Today I added a DVD writer to my system and in the process of installing it I shifted my hard-drive one bay up, suddenly I noticed the problem increased drastically... I also noticed that when I was online the problem got really bad...

That's when the inspiration struck me:
I've been connecting via my Siemens ME45 which uses infrared, my pc has an infrared "eye" bang in the front, so I've just been putting my cellphone on a box in front of the "eye" like this

Now as soon as I move the cellphone away the problem stops... put the cellphone in front and the hard-drive goes nuts... (you can literally hear the heads "whacking" around)..

I never realised how much trouble cellphone "radiation" could cause
Now I know why they don't allow cellphones aboard airplanes..

Anyway just thought I'd share this in case anyone else ever notices strange problems of this kind

Yup i noticed awhile ago that if my keys are close to my cell phone when it rings or sends data the led on the alarm remote lights up and flickers on and off. I guess the radiation is inducing a current in the led's circuit - so yea it cant be too good for your HD.
