No need to appologize for the yelling.  It is nothing compared to the
screaming and swearing that is going around in my mind.  I have contacted
the manufacturer, and they are going to replace the unit under warranty.

|Hi,
|    First off, NEVER RUN BIOS HARD DRIVE UTILITIES ON AN IDE
|DRIVE!!!!!  Sorry for yelling, especially since you didn't
|specify if this was an IDE drive, but this is that important.
|Using those utilities will trash an IDE drive with no hope of
|recovery.  They were designed to work with the old MFM and RLL
|hard drives.  Now as to how to fix your problem.  I would try
|looking on the web page of the manufacturer.  Many of them have
|a psuedo-low level format that has fixed problems similiar to
|this for me in the past.
|
|HTH,
