yeah.. i am waiting on Tosh to reply.. i even tried Formatting it with EASEUS part man... it saw my partition.. saw that there was data on it.. however, windows wont.. i was able to format it through EASUS, but when it goes to update windows, windows in a sense is "rejecting" it and then it comes back to Easus as Unformatted... so, i am guessing that just that part of the drive is damaged beyond repair and the first half is ok..hopefully they will send me one out before i have to send this one.. if i do.. but my guess is they will want the drive and see what they can do and replace if needed
