Thanks for everyone's responses. Given that this drive may well be lying in its SMART registers, I've just ordered a new drive. Newer IBM/Lenovo machines appear to complain if you don't use Hitachi GST drives, so I ordered one of those to be on the safe side, as well as to preserve the resale value. I note with keen interest that a number of laptop warranties don't cover the drive. Fingers crossed it'll arrive tommorrow. Thanks again... BMS
