        Yes I did try it again. This time it didn't even make it to altitude. The first time was a more leisurely climb rate with 2 on board (maybe ~1000'/min) and it crashed (blue screen) at 10'300. we descended to below 10K and rebooted then slowly climbed again and at exactly 10,300' it crashed again. Reboot and again at exactly 10,300', blue screen again, but then it wouldn't reboot.

 Thanks for the info.  It sounds like this is a very real problem, and even if you get a drive that seems to work, one good bit of turbulence will likely knock it out.  I'd hate to think my GPS was on the verge of failure all the time, so I guess I'll forget any system that has a HD in it.  

Cheers,

Rusty (fortunately, memory is cheap)
