I've seen things like this on older SCSI disks, the disk thinks something
is wrong enough for it to abort it's powerup. If you went out of it's
rated heat range then your toast, otherwise I'd phone up quantum and hope
it's on warrenty.

If your PC got hot enought to cause the disk to have problems I'd worry
about other components too.. Probably took a year off it's life!

I know my 2G fireball doesn't get very hot while running..
