Not well.
DiskWarrior failed to fix whatever problems I had. In fact, it counted upwards of 16000 disk errors! I think it did suffer a head crash after all. The drive was making a faint "ticking" sound which could have been the head skipping off the platter...
DW allowed us to recover some of the photographs we had stored on the drive, but we lost a good deal of everything else including all of my wife's archived email.
I picked up a FirmTek SeriTek 1S2 SATA controller and Maxtor III 300 GB SATA hard drive as a replacement. The drive and card seem fast enough, but now I'm having trouble installing OS X from my 10.4.6 DVD. I get about 2/3 of the way through and the installer gives up claiming "problems during the installation."
Man, when it rains, it pours.
Peace,
Drew
