This is harddrive number 3 that died for me. :-/
The only good news is that HP has actually been pretty good. After losing two drives last year (February and April), I purchased the extended warranty.
I don't think I spent over 50 minutes total on the phone today. I called from work, and I think I was on the phone about 20 minutes before we concluded I needed to call from home so the technician could have me check some stuff. Tonight I was on the phone a whopping 24 minutes (my home phone has a timer). New drive is shipping out, I swap and send the old one back.
Oh yeah! If it happens again "they'll escalate it". I'm reading between the lines in thinking that they give up on the hardware and we go after another laptop. I actually just want this drive to last forever - this reconfiguring everything isn't fun.
Fortunately, my automated backups are every Sunday at around 2am, so I haven't lost too much data.
