Yes. I finally got to it yesterday evening. The code really is
attempting to divide by zero. Unfortunately, the code that is doing this
is a utility routine, so I can't say more about where the bad data came
from or if it is hardware related.

If it were my drive, I would spend some time with dfsee booted from DOS
before trashing it. Both of the boot failures could be data issues. I
have no opinion about the Maxstor utility results since I know nothing
about it.

Hang on to it, unless it's already gone. I'll check it out when I have
the time.
