You obviously don't have IBM 75GXP harddisks installed in your computers. They have a very high rate of failures. I think I have had a harddisk malfunction rate of 20% in 2001. Why do you keep using them then? :-) I'd dump 'em after the 2nd failure and move on. But in general I agree with you; I've had far more HD failures than any other components on my systems. Windows XP crashes just because this driver is unstable. Any OS will crash if a driver is unstable. I know the system restore function very well - once it removed one days work from a computer I was using So do you hand code machine language? System recovery only watches binaries, drivers, the registry, etc. It would never rollback any source files. You can also turn it off on drives that you don't want to run it on. Plazz
