Thanks for everyone's responses.
Given that this drive may well be lying in its SMART registers, I've
just ordered a new drive. Newer IBM/Lenovo machines appear to complain
if you don't use Hitachi GST drives, so I ordered one of those to be on
the safe side, as well as to preserve the resale value. I note with keen
interest that a number of laptop warranties don't cover the drive.
Fingers crossed it'll arrive tommorrow.
Thanks again...
BMS
