Whew. I have the affected model, but my serial number isn't in the problem
range.

I haven't determined that yet. Sigh... work has been leaving far too
little time for experimental stuff.

According to basic diagnostic messages, the drive is having trouble.
Sectors are going bad. I haven't looked beyond the basics. On most

sectors were right on the edge of reliability tolerances. But...
coincidences make me wonder.

There is no hint of anything malicious when AV scans, etc., are run.

The boot sector got messed up on the original drive and...
