If the drive is only two years old, RMA it.  WD drives carry a three year
warrantee.  WD is very good about replacing them.  You simply download a
test program and run it.  It will give you an error code that you simply
type into a web page to get an RMA number.  You then ship the drive to them,
and they send you a new one.  Real nice.  ;-)  If you call them on the phone
and provide them with a credit card number, they will cross ship.  As long
as you send the drive in to them, they will not charge your card.

Hurry!  Before it's too late.  ;-)
