many thanks for all the responses. i am going to hook the drive up to a computer with the 'other os', check it, and perhaps send it for RMA.

good god, i am becoming a paranoid freak. how about we start a discussion on 'good backup protocol' ... as i just acquired a box to serve as a 'backup box' ... what good will it be if my drive(s) is(are) going to go out? i know i need to make dvd/cd copies of data, but they will eventually go bad too (how long?). do you and how often do you reimage your cds/dvds? how do you do it? do i need another system (tape? how much? which kind/one?)

oye!!

thanks,
doug
