well when i do the diagnostic test from dos it comes up saying problem w/ drive do you want to fix, i select yes, then it comes back saying problem fixed. if i run the test again it does the exact same thing. so I ran the more thorough scan and thats when it came back saying "this drive is failing, back up all software blah blah blah". Also i downloaded a program that runs from windows that supposedly can save files on a damaged drive.... it sees the drive but it gives me errors and says drive not readable, something about bad sectors...i'm at work now so i dont remember exactly. I even tried to format the drive from dos and it wouldnt do it.....
