A few days ago I posted a message asking for help with my A500 locking up
while using my hard drive.  I've traced the problem to my Seagate St225
drive.  The problem occurs after the drive has had about 25 minutes to
warm up.  I installed a fan blowing on the drive, and have since had
no more problems.  My questions is whether or not a problem like this
is just going to get worse, or if there is a way that it can be repaired,
or is this drive just going to deteriorate and need replacing very soon?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks rsn
