Well yeah, one things sure. If you worry enough about your data to pick a drive based on its reliability rating, you worry enough to either be taking backups or running RAID1. Never rely on a harddrive to keep your data safe.
While not definitive, this is probably the closest you'll get to any statistics for reliability:

A bit more info.

I've seen macbooks completely reject old batteries before. (i know its not a macbook)
Batteries these days have electronics built into the battery along with the charging circuit in the laptop itself. Usually the laptop or the battery will also keep a history file which helps it calculate how...

Yeah, I've been having the same problem lately, it always seems like something even better comes up when I'm just about ready to buy a new phone. And mind you, i have a Nokia 8310 atm! However Samsung and HTC are the big players in the Android smartphone market, and I'm pretty sure that Galaxy...
I'd probably wait for Samsung Galaxy S II or HTC Sensation as well. They will both be more powerful with dual core processors - No word on battery life though. The Samsung will also have NFC - don't know about the HTC, and both will have Android 2.3 Gingerbread, which indeed has nice...
I wouldn't even run Windows 7 with just 1GB of ram. A base installation is always going to consume more memory then a base install of Windows XP. When you start running apps you'll easily dry out that 1GB. Stick with XP, or upgrade with at least another GB of ram.
As for the 64bit/32bit...
Sounds more like an issue with XP and its installer rather then the drive. I would probably try to zero out the first 10MB, or even the entire drive, and start the Windows installer again.
I know for a fact that the Windows XP installer is useless with partitions.
Linux command for you:

The only situations i've seen this in, is if the drive is failing, as in having bad sectors, which the USB -> SATA/PATA chip can't handle, and simply disconnects from USB, or when the drive is USB powered, and not getting a stable enough current.
If the copying stops at the same place the first...
