I have just been initiated into a not-so-exclusive club! Yup, yesterday my Seagate drive STUCK on me for the first time. I took my machine see a friend (after parking it of course) and when I powered up... nothing! It took ten minutes of diddling with the stepper motor to get it to come and stay up, upon which I checked it out and reparked it for the return trip. When I got it home... the same story. Guess what? I've used the drive for 15 months! Gee, don't you think it's a little suspicious that these drives fail after the warranty is over? At least I have a non-autoparking controller. -Vince
