RE: [cobalt-users] [RaQ3i] SOS >> Restore CD Failure

["Gavin Nelmes-Crocker" <gavin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Theo I suspect your hard drive has died in some way.  If you have another
drive handy and RaQ is not covered by a warranty then open it up and swap
the drive and try again if that works then you have the solution.

BTW you should have either a Quantum  or more likely a Seagate drive both of
these have good warranties just go to their website and you should be able
to get them to replace the drive directly.

Hope this solves your problem.

Gavin
