XP Pro crashed my hard drive when it came out of standby mode. tried using the XP CD to setup/repair but it stops when the files are loading half way. Ran the advanced test from the driver fitness test for IBM deskstar 80GB 7200rmp but it freezes after the interface test. is my hard drive bad? it's less than 1 yr old!

it sounds like the drive is probably bad
i have ran across a few that were bad before a year.
it should still be under warranty.
send it back
