Thanks for replies, Don and Sandi. I'll get a new drive then. Just wanted
some opinions on wether the problem lies in the drive or in some of the
software.

I should get a new computer, but dont really need to. My machine was custom
built for stability and longevity and is not an off-the-shelf computer. It
only needs a few upgrades now and then. I have added harddrives, memory and
a USB2 card, otherwise the speed and power and stability is just fine. Seems
like a waste to replace this good old workhorse yet :-)
