Dead hard drive

DO NOT FORGET … to register your new hard drive as soon as you get it as I forgot to register a 500 gb “Scorpio Black”  hard drive which had a manufacture date of April 09, 2011 and once I entered the serial number, they informed me that it had not been registered so no warranty, have a nice day.   Needless to say  Western Digital has invented new ways to provide themselves with an excuse not to provide a replacement so REGISTER your NEW drive so they won’t be able to use that excuse if you have to replace it.  A new drive cost me almost a hundred bucks for this drive.
