Thank you for the information.
I ran the tests and it came up with quite a few bad sectors.
I then tried to fix the problem with the same program and the
HD was so messed up that it could not fix the problems.

As for the temp. problem, I have done some research and
the general feedback is that the HD is running way to high,
even if Western Digital states that it could run as high.

Again thanks for the info.
