I tried running spinrite on it, but even that was having drama, saying it was going to take a number of days to complete.

Because the drive is SATA, the only other laptop I have with a compatible drive is the MacBook, so took the 80Gb drive from that and put it in the laptop – re-installed Vista plus SP-1 – and everything is happy again.

I rang up the manufacturer of the laptop (I shan’t name name’s here) and was told that the 1 year warranty had expired……10 days ago.

Isn’t it always the way, that the moment the warranty runs out on a product, is the moment it fails!

:(
