Hi,
   Have you tried a mid-level format?  Seagate has a program at
http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/drivers/discfile.shtml that
will do this.  You will need to know the cylinders, heads, and
sectors of the drive.  You can also do a low level verify of the
drive.  This program writes 0's (I think) to every spot.  If it
is not a media problem, this should fix it.  I have had problems
with drives before that this was the only way to fix.

HTH,
Donald Gaither
