Hello,
We have a new maintenance guy. In the previous few years, we've had to replace one hard drive. In the last few months, six.
I'm not there watching. I am guessing he is shutting the machine off by a switch and thus the PC part is not correctly shutting down. I talked to him, all set moving forward.

However now I have six hard drives that won't work but yet each did the day before they were pulled.
How do you suggest I proceed?
Most machines are windows 2000 based.
I wish I could "hot swap" like in a Windows 7 or 10 PC but....
I'm struggling to find IDE drives (ebay gets me junk) and old iso files and old disk mounting programs etc.

Suppose I install windows 2000 on an IDE drive. Then what? I have to need drivers and a machine specific program. Where do I get those without paying an arm and a leg?

Thank you for your help
