    Prolly be faster to go direct to WD in any case - check the WD website for 'Returns' information (I know that Maxtor insists you download and run some programs to confirm that theres a problem as well as preliminary diagnostic software before you can return goods to them). If you contact Komplett about the problem they'll just end up getting you to mail them the HD and then go through the exact same process - you might as well just skip the step *shrug*.

    Bad sectors does not have to mean faulty drive.. if your just getting scandisk reporting bad sectors then fix the thing.. Unless its banging away its probably fine and more down to you not maintaining it right. like not running scandisk/defrag very often etc.
