If you look at the original post he asked how the drive could have 6 years of "power on" time. In the additional information, he said it was a Maxtor 300 GB drive. I don't think you could buy one of those in 1998. I would have to guess that Diskcheckup gave you some bad information. You may need to ask them where their software gets this kind of faulty information also. That is the only answer I know of. Hope this helps Jeff.
