Title: ibook G4 Trouble with hard drive
#1
Good evening all of you,
I use an ibook G4 800 Mhz, 640 GB for Navigation with GPSNavX and MacEnc in the Mediterranean and Atlantic Ocean. I had to replace the hard drive now 3 times. The first time I thought that the reason was the difficulty I had with the Power supply. But after the third time, the ibook broke down, I think now that the hard drive crashes, because the vibrations or even shocks are too hard. We sailed sometimes in rough conditions.
Does anybody have the same experience or have any idea to avoid hard drive crashes in the future? I dont want to use another of my powerbooks or buy a macbook air just for navigation, because otherwise the ibook works fine (surprisingly with Mac OS X 10.5.4
I hope someone can help
Jochen
