Its spin retry count is increasing. I first noticed it was at 5 and few weeks later now it&#39;s at 6. I use Acronis Drive Monitor. If the drive still have warranty, could I ask for a replace?<br /><br />Update: Have claimed the warranty and they replaced it with a 2TB one, instead of same 1.5TB. chiwee Technical Support Sun, 21 Oct 2012 09:00:40 +0800 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2171874 Hello everybody.<br /><br />I am currently considering to take a Pre-University programme and then further to France to continue my study for Civil Engineering. I have heard that France is quite popular with Civil Engineering. Is it true? I have a few questions and I hope they can be answered here. I have done a search but could hardly find a thread regarding these questions. If there is already a thread, please share the link. I hope this thread can be a help to those who seek the same answers.<br /><br />1) I have talked with a few counsellors and they have recommended me to take the Cambridge GCE A-Levels (CAL) after knowing that I&#39;m interested to go to France to further my studies. My question is, what is the difference between the CAL and the AUSMAT besides the period of the programme? Is AUSMAT recognized in France?<br /><br />2) I understand that France will be teaching all the subjects in French and I intend to learn their language. My questions is, will it be difficult to understand the scientific terms used during the studies? Are there anyone who can share their experience?<br /><br />3) I have done a search on the Universities in France that offer Civil Engineering. But I would like to hear some recommendations from everyone here. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--><br /><br />4) What will the living expenses be like in France?<br /><br />5)I have heard that there are some European countries that offer free/cheap higher education to foreign students including Germany and France. Are they still that way?<br /><br />6) Finally, besides France, where else can I consider and what are your recommendations of Universities?<br /><br />Thank you very much.<br /><br />Have a pleasant day and a wonderful new year&#33;<br /><br />Regards<br />Chi Wei chiwee Education Essentials Sat, 31 Dec 2011 19:53:12 +0800
