If your having trouble with the system area of a new Mitsubishi
MR535, ask for a replacement. Problems in this area of the disk
can get worse. The Mitsubishi is normally an excellent HD often
formatting with *no* bad sectors. Yours may be lemon. Even if
the disk can be "fixed" with a utility such as Spinrite, you're
better off with a new disk.
