I would also check that all the cables are plugged in properly and that there is nothing conductive (like metal) touching the drive where it really shouldn't. Maybe open the case, take the drive out and put it on a big sturdy cardboard box to avoid possible shorts. > > > So, did this issue just move from a Seamonkey sort of problem to > > completely something else?

Did you force the short and long tests to be run and waited for them to be finished?

It does, there is something wrong with that drive. Another thing you could try is to plug that drive into a different machine (I believe you still have your old one?) and see if the same issue occurs there. Also, now would be a good time to have backups of the data on that drive :) -- Joost
