Just downloaded the system rescue cd iso.
Will see what it does.
I tried to file for an rma, but the serial num and the part num
were unrecognizable by the support site. Strange!!
I had mistakenly stated that the drive was a WD. It is actually
a seagate, and the seagate site did not recognize the serial number.
Tried many times, to  no avail.
