Brick

OK. So I ran the Firmware update on my Hard Drive. No luck. Same symptoms. So I decided it's worth the 43 minute hold time to talk to a live tech support at Seagate. She assured me that it was not a firmware issue. My hard drive is now a brick. On the brighter side, I plan on loading Windows Vista Ultimate 64 on it! Time to move on and hope this doesn't happen again...
