OK, that's actually good news.  The only reason I was doubting it was  
the disk was that this is the second disk that had problems, although  
the problems with the first disk may have been something completely  
different (but that was also with a different Linux distribution).

I will send this disk back to Maxtor after running the Maxtor utility.

Thanks for all your help.  It was a great learning experience and I  
was able to recover all the critical data.  The system is back up and  
running with a spare drive while I wait for the replacement to arrive.
