Does this apply even if your Mac is out of warranty?  I have a
six month old SE with the above drive.  The hard drive is flakey.
Once after being shut off for a day, the hard drive refused to
spin-up.  A hard slap fixed that, however.  It still looks as though
it has trouble coming up from a cold boot.  Am I living on borrowed
time? (Lessee here....my Mac is six months old....hmmmm.....guess
it's been six months since my last backup.....)
