I don't know, I haven't tried to return one yet. I'm not 100% sure it's even faulty, but there were some issues. I just want to test it, but it seems now that one needs to install an OS to do so, which in turn means we need to install a second drive. I, perhaps naively, expect disk manufacturers to provide a standalone bootable diagnostic, which until now WD have done - indeed, they still do, but not for this particular drive, despite the fact that there is such an .ISO file available on the downloads page for this drive. -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
