I agree with John --so much so that I'm likely to co-opt his
.signature--  the coincidence with a power anomoly means that you
probably can't even blame it on something as random as a gamma ray from
outer space.

My unsolicited advice: dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/newcheapdisk and do the
postmortem analysis at your leisure after making the machine useful.
