It never fails to amaze me how relevant PC repair knowledge is in the modern arcade.
Big Buck Hunter Pro SD, periodically fails to boot with "Operating System Not Found" error. Suspecting the hard drive, I check the brand -- WDC (Western Digital). Boot up Data Lifeguard, run the full scan. It comes back with this:
Nice! I didn't know DLG could do that! It's reimaging right now.
I really should do a writeup on PC problems that commonly crop up in PC-based arcade games. I'm a lazy man, however.
I will leave you this tip though: once a week, walk around to each game and check EVERY power supply for a working fan. If you find a bum fan, turn that game off IMMEDIATELY and replace the fan. I've lost too many PSUs to heat due to a fan going out.
