Hi,
I just got a new 30gb hard drive and i'm running the drive builder software. The wizard stated that it completed successfully. The deck is still using the hard drive, and every now and then this table pops up on the screen show how many spin ups the drive has done, and some seek info? i've never seen this table before and i don't want to uplug the deck to run the software upgrade.

here is some hyperterm output

It's running a stress test. The builder was successful. The only thing you can do now is remove the power.
