I would venture under ordinary contract law in the US that if the announcement was that drives sold or installed after 10/1/02 would have only a one year warranty, that any drive installed or sold before that date would still have a three year warranty. Manufacturers would be inviting class action litigation if they shortened the warranties of drives sold before 10/1/02. That old 3-year warranty was buried in the price of the drive, and there ain't no such thing as a free lunch.
