My 3060's hard drive crashed - makes noise won't boot.
Maxtor swapped out replacement drive under warranty.
Are there any ground/boot up system load patches-ie no
source to copy from?

Anyone, Anyone??
Thanks

    Hello, Jordan. I'm in the same boat. Have you had any luck
    in finding out the answer? Please let me know.

    I had success when I received the following as a response on
    another forum:
    Go to ftp://replay:giveme@ftp.kdhnews.com/ and open the
    images folder. Look in the replay folder and download

    Showstopper&replay30xximage3.02.zip

    Inside that zipped file is the disk image, instructions and
    software needed to make a replay drive.

    (I had Win2K on my PC so I used that versoin of the setup-
    otherwise you have to follow the Linux approach)

    Your win2K PC should work just fine. If your secondary IDE
    position is set to auto you shouldnt have to change
    anything in PC bios. You will be mirroring the disk image from
    your windows. Connect the replay drive to the secondary IDE
    ribbon (disconnect your CDROM if its already using that IDE
    position).

    Mine works just fine right now, but I had to install a fan and
    remove the protective EZ-Bake enclosure from the hard drive
    due to heat which caused skipping initially.

    Good Luck
