Doesn't Maxtor have the "no quibble" warranty?
I'd get after them and have them make it good...

I just came from a MS seminar, and all the recent
ones I've been to lately were running off a USB2 drive
for the VirtualPC files...  Speed should not be that much
of a problem... (I'll have to test mine to see what it will "do"...)
