 Well it's only the second drive to fail on me really.
 One 130 Meg Seagate I was moving when I accidently hit the

 The Quantum drive that failed I'd bet money the original owner
 moved while running or banged the box to _get it going_

 The sectors marked bad distribution just looked like 
 physically induced damage.
