It is very possible that the drive has become defective. With an out of warranty RMA, there is a $20 (US, $35 Canadian) diagnostic fee for the drive. This cost will apply towards the total cost of repair or replacement of the drive. The RMA department will then contact you for authorization to fix the drive and give you the cost. -- Phil Perkins Creative Labs Technical Support http://www.creativehelp.com Tech Support: 405-742-6655 http://www.soundblaster.com "Jeremy Stanley" <stanmuffin@yahoo.nospam.com> wrote in message news:8vcovc$b0v$1@news.creativelabs.com... > No, the system is not overclocked.
