Andy, Back then, both Quantum and Maxtor both were offering 3 year, return to manufacturer warranties on their hard drives. Unfortunately, that doesn't include data recovery, however. If your drive is toasted, let me know if you need a contact or phone number information. Having your original invoice will help but they should have a date of manufacture stamped onto the drive. Happy 4th Weekend,
