my Maxtor 4GB drive in my Pentium 1 machine finally gave up its ghost, R.I.P. 1997-2020. It had rough bearings, had many bad sectors, it was just not healthy, one day when i was going to power up to play some DOS games. i heard odd sounds and it just hung there on the BIOS. I just pulled the HDD out. took it apart and saved the platters, magnets, and motor from it and chucked the rest into the recycling bin. I just threw in a 40GB WD Caviar HDD into it and got the full 40GB working with OnTrack and reinstalled Windows 98 SE on it.
