Possibly low level format it. But whatever is there will probably come back to haunt you. Ed Fair

I did that last evening, I used MaxTor utility I found referenced on this Forum.

It seemed to have done the job, I also wonder if it will dive on me later..

Funny thing, the DELL utilities found no problems, but the Maxtor did... hmmm

Thanks!
