Thanks for figuring out those offsets, Peter. I had just returned from a long (11 hours, 10 caches, 1035KM) drive, and my paltry reasoning skills were not functioning yet (and still probably aren't!).

Tony.. as you noted, you still oughta try a S.M.A.R.T. "long" test on it. It might really be bad still, but what you have done often recovers things nicely.

cheers
