At this point I agree with Billh, Spinrite is the best option if you want to recover the HD, or even if you just want to play with spinrite on this drive, in case you ever really need it at sometime in the future. Since the drive checks out, I would think a program was responsible, and Nortons GoBack keeps coming to mind. Not running GoBack are you? -- Police shoot dead two actors playing bank robbers in a crime movie http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7149216.stm
