I just have to mail it back to get a replacement.? Since the turn around time of Seagate is at least a few weeks, I have no choice but buy a new harddisk to get myself going.? So I bought a new 320GB harddisk for just $120 after work tonight.? Unhook the old drive and hook up the new one takes no time.? However, my Windows XP CD seems has some scratches and some files are corrupted.? Luckily the CD works fine afte I burned a new copy.?

Right click “my computer”, go to computer manager, then disk manager, select the foriegn hard disk and choose the import option solve the problem.?
