- Well, the 5C figure was the minumum that was posted once upon a time on
- the net...were you using the computer while it was cold??
-
- I hope that you gave it some time to come up to temperature
- (seriously...); both the disk and the computer do need to be at or above
- that 40-45 F range in order to properly function - I hope the disk is
- still good, the drive probably just wasn't spinning at the proper speed
- to read the disk properly...
