the box locks up !

[David J Patrick]

For quite a while, I have been experiencing an annoying problem
that has been making my Debian box feel like Win98 (1st edition!).
When accessing partitions on hdb the box will frequently lock up solid.
I haven't been able to pinpoint the offending partition, but whether using
Konqueror, mc, or  most recently QTParted (in an effort to find out more 
about
these partitions) I hold my breath and 1 out of 5 times KLANGGGG .... 
sigh .. reboot.
I have posted regarding this condition, in the past, but still have no idea
how to properly diagnose the source of the offending behavior.
Any ideas ?
