It lives Lives LIVES!!!!
The drive arrived yesterday and I immediately put it in and plugged it in for the Disk Builder upgrade. At first I thought it was not working because the drive made no noise or anything (my old drive always made some little noise like most drives do when spinning up or reading/writing). The upgrade started going and I must say it took forever. Finally it finished and I turned Hyperterminal on and saw it format the drive and started doing its stress test. I let it go for 3 hours.
Now, I am off to the hardware store to get some of those washers and make sure the drive screws are long enough with the washer on them.
I am sort of wishing I bought two drives now...
Thanks everyone. For awhile there I thought it was the end of my empeg and dreaded going back to CD...
