Howdy,

About three weeks ago, when I tried to open a file on a 250
gig WD drive, I got the error "The file or directory is
corrupted and unreadable."

Based on what I read about that error, I decided that my
best bet was to re-format the drive.

After the format, I put it back into service, and all was
fine until today.

Today, I got the error again.

This time, I ran the Western Digital Diagnostics and chose
the most rigorous test method.

The disk passed...

Is it likely that this disk is on its way out, or could
there be another explanation for these errors?

Sincere thanks,
--
