I have a drive that I could sell you if you need one. $30 for a 7200rpm 120gb sata laptop drive is not too terrible, like my spelling.

The overall behavior indicates that the drive is failing; diagnostics may run, and check OK, as the platters are fine. HOWEVER, the odd detection issues point to something wrong in the drive's circuitry.
It may run for a long time like that, but I try not to press my luck in those situations.
I ran the Harry Potter books through a spell checker; none of those spells should work.

I've got a little problem with my laptop.
You see, GRUB, kinda started giving me "error 18".
And after I fixed that, I still get the error. Then, when
I boot from an ubuntu live-CD, gparted and cfdisk simply
started telling me that I didn't have a drive. BIOS can
detect the drive, and it must be there, because BIOS is
executing GRUB from my drive.
I googled grub and learned about error 18, and I looked
for stuff on failing and crashed hard drives in a dell 600m.
But the only thing any body else has been able to do is
replace the drive.
Anybody have any experiences, alternatives, suggestions
or thoughts about this?
Thanks!
