Hello,
I wonder if this issue might be due to the firmware on the hard disk drives
being corrupt. Seagate had a problem recently with their Barracuda line of
3.5" SATA hard disk drives where the drive would disappear from in the BIOS
when the firmware was corrupted.

Seagate ST9160821A? MBR sector issue??
?
This is said to be a reliable drive (160GB, 5400), but internet
chatter has reports of the sectors holding the MBR going bad.?
Googling "ST9160821A mbr" seems to indicate there was a bad batch at
some point.? Is there any way to check such a drive for future
reliability?? Was that an isolated bad run, or is is common with this model??
?
Thoughts?
