I was doing some surfing and email checking this afternoon when my Maxtor 200GB external firewire drive started to click at me... I tried to access the drive and got nothing. So I packed up the drive and drove it to Best Buy.(cussing up a storm along the way) I couldn't remember if I had purchased the extended warranty or not. It turns out Best Buy doesn't sell extended warranties on hard drives... but the guy told me to call Maxtor and check with them. Sure enough, it's still under warranty. Thank god! Now I just have to wait until Tuesday to give them a call.
