Hardware is enjoyable

I received the replacement hard drive yesterday for the original Dell 745 (the box without VT on the CPU). The new drive was also bad.

Fortunately, since I needed a hard drive for the new motherboard, I bought and received two 500GB SATA drives so I had a spare. I had already put one of those drives in the Dell machine and reinstalled ESXi 4, so I will put that back into the machine and will proceed with a fresh ESX 3.5 install.

The supplier apologized, said they would pull another drive, test it, and send.
