Hard Drive Replacements
I am considering asking for a replacement hard drive (not a Samsung) in my efforts to stop my new XPS 420 from crashing so often. However, I really don't want to return my current drives, as I've heard all the stories about companies not wiping them properly and then selling them again. If I get them replaced with new ones, will I be forced to return it to the engineer? Can I just destroy it myself?

I'm curious. Are you using Trend Micro PC-Cillin? If you are, there may be a simple cure for the crashes.
XPS 420, Q6600, 4GB, 500x2, Radeon HD2600XT, SP1, Bluetooth, eSATA port working!
