You should download the Western digital drive test software. It will
at least tell you what's wrong with the drive and might be able to fix
certain errors.

Thanks, just tried the diagnostics and if failed dismally. The "Reallocated
Sector Count" box is checked as bad. It just sits there clicking and
spinning and clicking and spinning, and the warranty is out of date
according to the warranty check.

Ah well.


Cheers everyone,

Gareth.
