   I just had to return a 10 month old Seagate 2.5 gig HD
(Model ST52520A)  because of a continued buildup of bad
clusters after swapping the master and slave.  (Yes, the jumpers
were set correctly).  After starting over from scratch,
reformatting, scandisking and reloading all my software
and Win95,  I lost part of my registry due to a bad
cluster after only 2 days.   Anyway, Seagate says they'll
replace it with a remanufactured/rebuilt Hard drive.

   Anyone had experience with the reliability of rebuilt
HDs?   I'm a little leery now.

Thanks,

Steve Snyder
