Yeah, I feel your pain... IBM wants me to send my drive to them, and then I get to wait no more than 14 days for them to ship a new one out.
When I had speakers go bad from Dell, they sent me new ones out first, and then I shipped back the old ones. They used my CreditCard for security btw. <--- That's how it should be done. But then Dell is a customer service company, and IBM is just kinda like eh, we're only doing it beacuse we have to.
I'm just pissed, because I don't have a drive with enough free space to ghost it too, so I'm gonna loose something

There would be no problem if I could get the replacement first!
