The summary seems to be that this particular model has a bad track record and that periodically doing a low level format is neither reasonable nor 100% effective. And i thought SEAGATE was a good brand! i am going to get my dealer to replace this drive with another brand. Any suggestions about a more reliable brand/model of similar capacity? Once again, thanks very much to all those who advised me.
