It 'might' be an urban myth - I've heard it often but most instances I came across were recoverable (parted), some where not. Disclaimer: my experience of that problem is very limited - maybe half a dozen instances. I "suspect" the problem stems from autoformat, and a problem with Sdbus.sys during ADMA tranfers - MS pushed out some updates in late '09 that seemed to fix it. NOTE: It only seemed to occur with un-updated laptops - so I'm not certain that heat didn't play a part.
