| i had this problem when it got really warm... turned out it was the power supply not giving the hard drive enough power. Do you have the ability to try the drive in another computer? |

I doubt that but yeh....mate grab an 80gb from the pc markets or even a retail store as there less than a $1 a GB.
Can get 300GB drives now for less than $250 |

Best to do a clean install on a new drive that way there is NO chance of any cross corruption   |
