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
