Hi Ioannis:

Yes....the disk is completely healthy....Troy and I were wrong
about that...so we are back to the mystery, however I remember
someone else replying about a similar thing and mentioning
that it didn't matter...but your tests are good....I wish I could
say the same about the hard drive I'm working off of right now,
which is "PASSING" the test but SMART is telling me there are
marginal data in pre-failure mode...and that I already have 3 unreadable
sectors!!!  But...alas..this is a test computer and when I get my new
hard drive for my "mainframe"...I'm taking the old 40GIG thing from that
and putting it here!

If your system is running well...I wouldn't worry too much about it!

Thanks for the data...
