Ok, I got the new drive and it is a POS too! Now I wasted the money to courier back the other drive and the new drive is just as bad if not worse. In case you are wondering, it is the 160GB 7200.7 model#ST3160023A. Avoid this crap drive at all costs... even if you get it for free, stay clear because it will drive you nuts within a week and you will have to waste the time to transfer your data to another drive.
