I recently had an new drive die on me (2 months old). It is a Fujitsu MPG3102AT IDE. The only problem is that I cant take it back for warrenty due to the data on it. I dont believe the platter itself is damaged but just the motor or something similar.

Any ideas on how to get it working for an hour or so (It didn't make any grinding sounds and now the bios does not see it at all).

Secondly has anyone else had bad experiances with Fujitsu drives? I need to know if it is my case (too hot??) or the drive. My Athalon does make the machine a bit warm + cd drive, cd buring geforce 2 etc etc. What sort of operating temp should drvies be ok in?
