Summary: The disk is virtually free compared with what's on it!

Even if they honor the guarantee immediately with no hassle, it's still
worthless.  The value of the disk is not the disk, but what's on it, and
the investment you made in time and effort to get it on there.  If your
time's worth anything at all, by the time you do a format and disk copy,
if nothing else, you've got more invested in the disk than they'll
give you back on their "guarantee".  Not to mention if you lost your
only copy of the source code your were working on.

Moral: buy disks you *trust*.
