Hi all,

I recently bought a 160 gig hard drive at the store after my 40 gig 
started failing with similar messages to the ones below.  The 40 gig 
eventually actually died after a few days (as in click click, boom, no 
longer detecting).

Now the 160 GB is giving me fsck errors all of a sudden, as seen below.  
Is my luck just that bad?  Is the drive in the store also bad?  This 
just seems like it could be a bad controller or something too, since its 
happened to two drives in a row...... and one of them was a new drive.

Any ideas would be appreciated.... if I'm gonna take the drive back to 
the store, I'd like to do it soon.

Regards,

Matt Juszczak
