I have tested my SAMSUNG HM080JI harddrive with HUTIL 2.03 (included on
Ultimate Boot CD 4.11). All tests passed (including S.M.A.R.T.) except
the last test (entire surface scan) which found a couple of ecc errors.

HUTIL suggested to erase the HDD and scan again for errors. So I'm going
to do that. If I see errors again I'm going to use my warranty to get a
new harddrive. If I don't see errors again I'm going to install Gutsy
and use HUTIL regularly to scan for errors. If I see errors again I'm
going to use my warranty to get a new harddrive. If I don't see errors
again it might still be some strange bug.
