That's good to know that I can have them ship me a drive so I can copy the files over before shipping it back. I know that some of the files could be bad and I'll end up having to rip some cd's over again but not the whole lot of them thankfully.

My WD drives are over 5 years old and I've had no problems with them. This is my first Maxtor drive and it's maybe 10 months old and crapping out already. Guess I am just lucky.
