It must be sent back to the place you bought it from. I haven't had any trouble with my new replacement yet, but the first one lasted 5 months also. I like the drive, but I hate the trouble. (When you have about 5 hours, I will tell you about my troubles with Zip Technologies.) Good Luck, Scott -- [_ Scott James Klafke \ Got any water? _] _] 372 E.
