500 gig hard drive - yet another faulty product from Maplin!

**blackninja** · 11-01-2008

I recently put several gigs of files on to a Seagate hard drive I bought from Maplin. Then it breaks

I plan to bring it in for a replacement/ refund, as I have with several Maplin items. However I'm being told they may examine the hard drive and look to repair it.

This is a pain because:
(1) I'm looking for a replacement today.
(2) I'd rather they didn't look at the contents. Nothing overly dodgy - just a privacy thing.

Is there any way round this?

Check Seagate's website to see if you can return it directly to them for replacement?

What exactly is wrong with it ?

There are many drive utility (checkers ) on the market, there used to be one for Seagate.

This may help
