Interesting;

A few months ago my Girlfriend's battery died a few times when she'd left her player in the car overnight. She was also seeing intermittent disk errors at the time so I replaced her IDE ribbon. Also, since the battery was a stock 2003 we replaced it. She hasn't experienced any issues since then. She also didn't lose any settings when it happened. crazy

I hadn't equated the two issues till I read your post.

Any way, short of putting some sort of toggle on the +12v lead, to prevent this?
