Much less likely, it could be to deal with a problem with the hard drive itself, that someone modified the Windows driver to workaround. I'm far more inclined to believe that it's the first reason. Different systems release patches all the time, just because one OS finds a problem with their own code doesn't mean that a different one will have the same problem. Unless, the other one made their code by copying ideas from someone else's bad code. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 (always current details of the computer that I'm writing this email on) Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages posted to the mailing list.
