So I tried everything on a PC last night (formatted, ran PhatHack tools, then tried to use media manager). I seemed to get through the PhatHack tools fine, but then I got the familiar "unable to access e:/CurrentSetup.xml", and I also got a Windows Delayed Write error on both drives. I have to believe that the drive has gone bad. Maybe this drive wasn't tough enough to be in the car ... who knows. Hope I can return it.
Have any suggestions on anything I should try before returning it?
Have any suggestions on what type of drive to get? This is an 80GB Maxtor.
Thanks-
