Don't throw it away, Bill! Send it to me. 
I'll polish it lovingly, take its unlovely mugshot, and consign it to a place in my ever-growing collection of elderly computer hardware. I don't have a 75GXP, not a decent picture of one.

How can it be out of warranty? No 60GXP has more than three years and IBM still offers three years warranty. Unless this drive comes from a third-party computer...LiamC said:
A curious thought just happened.
Every time this thing has failed has been when I've moved it from one motherboard to another and when I've been running (or just after) Winbench 99's Disk bench's. If I wipe it, set it up again and leave it alone, it seems to work fine.

I know you said it was OEM, but have you checked the serial number against IBM's database?

Have you tried the firmware update?

What is this storage?
LiamC said:Yeah, unfortunately the dented, scarred and scratched casing gives it away
FWIW, I've received 10,000RPM SCSI drives from IBM that were scarred and scratched right out of the bag! (not dented though)
