Maxtor warranty

I just bought a couple Maxtor 200gig drives from Staples. Before opening them, I check the warranty based on the serials. Now, I just bought these in mid october. The "1 year" warranty is set to expire in Dec 2004!!! That's 2 months, not 12. Obviously these have been sitting in a warehouse somewhere. Will Maxtor extend these warranties? I've tried contacting them but haven't heard back yet.
 
found your answers @ Maxtor's website:

Can I purchase an extension on my Standard Warranty Period?

Currently Maxtor does not directly offer any warranty extensions. Please contact your place of purchase for any independent warranty extensions that may be available through the reseller. Any warranty extensions provided by the reseller are independent of Maxtor.

Is my warranty issued at the date of purchase, or from the date of production?

Warranty coverage is issued and begins at the transaction or purchase of the drive, not the date of production.

So, don't lose that receipt.
