If you've got an ibm drive that fails on you don't use the warranty right away, try and fix it yourself first using their special software.
(they will try and do the same thing anyway).
Get the software att ibm.com on their storage section.
Download it and make a bootfloppy disc out of it.
(instructions at their site) I've tryed it and it worked on my crashed disc that made my compter fail to boot even with the troubledisc as a slave and a healthy one as master.
My disc was making all kind of weird scary noises and then i formatted it with this tool and now the disk is working in my server like it was completley new... It was a special kind of
"deep formatting"...
