Disk failure or corruption is unique to Windows?

Is there some magic in all other operating systems that prevents disk
failures?

Not necessarily, but Windows has been subject to an extreme amount of code
bloat, in comparison to some other OS's, which tends to make the effect of
any disk problem worse for Windows.
The problem is not the OS, it's the lack of backing up or making hardcopies
of data one wishes to save before the disk fails.

Neither of those issues is the problem. It was a virus. I regularly make DVD
backups of all data whenever I format my hard drives, but in this case, I
trusted that fact that I would be able to transfer all of my important data
to my secondary (slave) hard drive.
Unfortunately, when I reinstalled Windows XP Pro, the crummy operating
system didn't recognize my backup drive unless I formatted it. To make
matters worse, the stupid, stupid, stupid Western Digital "Data Lifeguard"
software would not mount my backup drive onto the system unless I
reformatted that also. There was no option to configure my backup drive into
the system unless I actually formatted it and lost all of my backup data. It
looks like Western Digital is following Microsuck's footsteps. I should have
transferred all of my important data either to a DVD or to my Linux system.
Never again a Western Digital drive!
The fact remains though, that I still need a copy of that article from at
least one of the 10 people that I was nice enough to forward it to. That
would help me much more than the various "lectures" about what I should have
done!

GM Pete. I recommend "Ghost" to make mirror bootable images of hard drives.
Howsomever, I just got back from a week in FL with the kids. I have all the
ARRL stuff back to 1914, tell me what you're looking for and will send it
privately.
