I'm not too terribly inclined to,  at this point.

The thing is,  I don't know if the drive itself is failing,  or if it can
be fixed by the appropriate mfr's utility.  I had one drive that got
glitched,  and showed me a few "bad sectors" that gave me some
trouble until I used some utilities to map them out.  And after running the
mfr's utility on it everythign was fine.  This _could_ be a case like that,
 what with the storms and such that we've had a problem with here recently,
 or it could be the drive failing,  I just don't know.
