I believe your drive is failing. Get it replaced under warranty. Where I work
as a tech we had a batch of Compaq Deskpro EP systems come through in
July-August. They had Maxtor drives in the 3-4 Gig range. We had somewhere
between a 33 and 50% failure rate out of around 10 computers within a month.
Drive not ready, drive not present, read errors. It varied but it seemed those
drives were pretty flakey. It could have been a result of mishandling but I've
noticed Compaq is now using Fujitsu and Western Digital in the ones we're
getting in now. So far reliability seems better.
