My thoughts exactly, but I'd have to find a utility that I trust to check. The parameter that Hard Drive Inspector was reporting has a top reading of 100 and reported the drive at 1. Forgot the name, but that sort of difference doesn't inspire confidence in the reporting software. Probably go with a WDC utility at least for now.
Sounds like it was reporting SMART results. If that is the case, then it is probably correct, though it may be reading the SMART information incorrectly (since this varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.) If you knew what the parameter was, I could probably tell you if you need to be worried.
