Well whether k3b knows it or not, there is 320Gbs of space left.  I did 
some more testing and the drive really doesn't do anything now.  Even 
hdparm can't read all the info so I ordered a drive about 12 hours ago.  
I have had this brand before so maybe it will be OK.

I should have it in a couple days.  I only live about a 3 hour drive 
from the newegg warehouse.   ;-)

I thought it worth asking at least.  Maybe the one I got will work.  I 
got to check and see if my old one is under warranty too.  I haven't had 
it that long I don't think.

Thanks much.
