My hard disk is seagate 1.2 GB. I hate to tell you this, but the first time it broke down and you were able to get it running was a stroke of luck. I myself would have copied the data off of the disk to another media and get the drive replaced. If the hd is working and you do not see a problem in the accessing, no, I have seen it happen to Seagate and Fujitsu hard drives all of the time. I recommend that you get the hard drive replaced, either buy a new one or get it replaced under warrantee.
