got an error then closed the application using end preocess and re-booted

The drive may be dead, in that case you’ll just have to replace it.

Try the drive in another computer, if the same problems occur there, then the problem lies with the drive.

madaneag,

Let me guess, you have owned your 411s for more than 6 months? I bought mine in Dec 2003 and it started acting weird around June. I RMA’d it and they sent me back an refurbished one that still had problem and just 2 weeks ago, I got a new 411s.
