I installed Windows XP and after a few months of use, the hard drive got corrupted and I wasn't able to retrieve data. Then I bought a new hard drive and installed Windows again, this time a few months later it happened again. I installed Ubuntu Linux on it this time (full format) and soon after, GNOME would not boot, but I was able to enter a text based safe mode in Linux. Anyhow, I'm wondering if I've been having bad luck with hard drives, or if it could be another problem, such as bad jumper settings on my motherboard or overclocking or what not.
Thanks.
