To cut a long story short,
Bootup Windows, corrupt user profile
Run IBM dft reports bad drive but tells me to do the zero-wipe
Run zero wipe
3 extended tests later the drive reports ok
Run the test several more times, still clean
Buy new HD.
Somebody wants to buy it, do I sell it to them? (£40 for a 40gb ibm gxp 60)
Or do I rma it even though there are no bad sectors?
