Except in my case, admittedly not CSC's fault, where the invoice was apparently
one of the casualties when my basement flooded this summer.  When I finally
went to turn on my 4th drive, it appears to think it's much smaller than 300meg
after a format process that worked fine on the others... CSC seems uninterested
in giving me the time of day without an invoice number... for a place that 
sells computer gear, they surprised me by claiming to be on a totally paper
invoice system...  

The dead drive is still sitting in my basement.  Suggestions?  The other three
have operated flawlessly.
