As I speak I am running a disk recovery utility on the old drive which I now have in an external enclosure.<BR /><BR />I am about to log a fault with the e-support and only hope they will allow me to send the drive back (without the laptop) me thinks this wont work but its worth a try, I cannot be without my laptop.<BR /><BR />The drive itself is reporting many bad clusters, I have also experienced Cyclic Redundancy errors on it.<BR /><BR />Anyway, we will see.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 22 Dec 2005 21:35:02 GMT https://community.sony.ua/t5/pcs-accessories/hdd-dead-after-only-nine-months/m-p/65503#M102507 sdj1704 2005-12-22T21:35:02Z Re: HDD dead after only nine months https://community.sony.ua/t5/pcs-accessories/hdd-dead-after-only-nine-months/m-p/65504#M102508 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I have a feeling they'll not support it, because you've taken it out of the unit.<BR /><BR />But thats my opinion and I don't work for Sony<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 23 Dec 2005 12:23:49 GMT https://community.sony.ua/t5/pcs-accessories/hdd-dead-after-only-nine-months/m-p/65504#M102508 kee-lo_ 2005-12-23T12:23:49Z Re: HDD dead after only nine months https://community.sony.ua/t5/pcs-accessories/hdd-dead-after-only-nine-months/m-p/65505#M102509 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>You are absolutely right Kee-Loo, sony wont take my hard disk back on its own.
