PROGRESS NOTE: I just finished running Gibson Research's "Spinrite 6.0" on my main drive. It took three days to run Level 4 maintenance on its two partitions.

The D: (Maxtor 80 Gb) drive name is in red and there have been bodings of Ill Things were I to run Spinrite on it at all. When I went to actually do it, a robot ran out waving its arms, saying, "Danger! Danger, Will Robinson!" and referred me to the grc.com website, where I found this message about a rare problem with my BIOS.

Oopsie. I've tried to update the BIOS once, without success. Even though the machine is running well, now it sounds more important than ever. I'll try again but may come looking for help.
