        I asked and they kept telling me to take the entire machine to a
servicer or EZ-Serve since it can be something else that failed and not
the HD.

        Nope, since the only 2.5" HDD I have is the 14 gig travelstar that
comes with my 770Z. And I'm not sure if the Award BIOS is supposed to
autodetect this drive or not but autodetect shows none while I tried using
the 16383cyl/15 hds/63 sec in user define which translates to 8 gigs and
the primary drive still fails. I wonder what the correct settings for LBA
is supposed to be.
