About two years after I bought it, I started having problems with drives "disappearing" . I called Dell and their rep came to my home and replaced the CD Rom drive and thought the problem was solved. When the problem recurred, someone at Dell suggested replacing the motherboard. That was done by the rep at his next visit, and I got five more years of faithful service until the power supply voltage began to sag a few months ago. I salvaged most of my files and bought another Dell, which is going great. Ask Dell if the motherboard could be causing your problem. It sure sounds like some common failure mode, rather than a bunch of bad hard drives. Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN
