  My hard drive also has the same problems.  It will read fine, but
will not write.  if anyone else has had similar problems, please
write, perhaps the problem isn't hardware but a new virus?  Or maybe I
am just getting all excited for no reason..  Anyone who can help, I
would greatly appreciate the help!  Thanks.
