    ACK! I keep getting all these Cyclical data errors on my HD

    Hey All, I keep getting cyclical data errors on the HD for my primary rig. I was hoping after a disk scan it would solve the problem, but no go. Any suggestions? Do I need to reformat or should I send this Western Digital back. It's still under warrenty. Thank you for any and all help.
