No one NEEDS a HD... They need the data on it. Back up your data, get WD's diagnostic tools and test. If that shows errors, RMA the drive.

I dont have any data on the drive. And i have the WD diagnostic tools tested and have not got any luck with it.. Do you have yahoo so i can talk to you on there? Or AIM?

 

[InViTeD]

I was going to use the drive as a slave. So i could put some important information on it.. Thats why i Need the drive heh

 

[croc]

No, nor di I have twitter, facebook or myspace. I like my privacy.

Just RMA the damned thing. My local supplier will swap out a drive no questions asked, then handle the RMA themselves.

Slave? I thought it was SATA, now I'm confused.

What does RMA stand for.. You are talking to a noob.. LoL

Nice drive.... I hope you got it cheap. It'll make a nice paper weight, or you can remove the cover and turn it into a nice wall decoration.

Download the Ultimate Boot CD, burn an ISO, then try their drive formatting tools. May or may not help.
