Anyway Mazak was in doing an install and we fired that mill up and it
had a corrupt file (AT64main.exe. First thing he says "Need's a hard
drive" takes off.

Next day I came in and they told me about it so I ran scan disk
(fixed some files etc) did a defrag.

I ran the machine 40 hours non stop without a failure in a test
program and is now back in production.

Few days later plant loses power for a second all machines fire back
up except a Mazak lathe (640 control) guess what same problem (same
file)

I tried the same routine couldnt fix it and looked at the file
something like 19 mb and was trying to figure out a way to copy a file
from another machine like it.

I knew I was going to have some issues , Mazak comes in......." Needs
a hard drive" its like wtf is going on can't you just fix a corrupt
file.

If it was my machine, I'd get an IDE <-> USB adaptor and either buy a
copy of Norton Ghost or use a linux box and the dd command to image
your drive from another pc.
