I had a string of bad luck with Maxtors...had 2 die in close proximity to one another. Prior to that, had an 800meg Maxtor that lasted 8 years. Go figure.
Seagate used to be a piece of shit back in the day...now I hear good things.
Western Digital...I've never heard anything bad about then, in fact, I've only heard good things. Never had one die on my yet.
IBM....the deskstar (aka the DeathStar) is the biggest piece of shit harddrive available today. Virtually guaranteed to fail in the first year. heheh.

No the hdd is working fine physically, its just that the filesystem(i think) is corrupt. Partitionmagic and logical disk manager both detect the hdd but display it as dynamic disc.
My primary hdd is also seagate, nvr had a problem with a seagate but at that moment they didnt have that big seagate hdd in store.
