Tried to. Maxtor insists that you run a special boot
disk which supposedly spits out a number code that
tells them what the problem is. Every time I ran the
program it said my drive was fine. No code, no
replacement. The problem I was having then was the
drive could not be booted from the very beginning. You
could dual boot from another drive or another
partition OK by tweaking grub.
But this particular problem is something new.
Maxtor was very unhelpful and linux-illiterate. I
won't be buying another drive from them if I can avoid
it.
