Hey buddy, the advice seems logical, take it out and put it back in again. Apart from that i don't know what to say! I feel for you!!

Thanks Aygie. That makes me feel a lot better that you care. I have tried several different drives. Taking them out and putting them back in again. I have talked to lots of people on different forums. No one has a solution that works. Guess I'm just stuck with my 60gb and using external's.

the only time I couldn't get something to work it was because my ethernet was plugged in...

it wouldn't let me play resistance ...

but after I unplugged the ethernet, it was fine..

can you back up and send it back? Changing the Drive doesn't void your warranty (i phoned them before i changed mine)
