Well, my problem seems to be in abeyance, but Andy's continue. Remember, he has a 750GB from OWC that he installed with with kit that OWC sells:
Here's the screenshot:
He says the drive is a "It's a Seagate Momentus 7200 rpm purchased in Jan 2011. My original invoice indicates a 3 year factory warranty."
Suggestions?

Update: I went ahead and wiped the 750, then did a clean install of Snow Leopard from the DVD. I rebooted and tried to restore from time machine, but the computer started pinwheeling. I powered off and rebooted from the external drive. Disk Utility still says the drive is ok. However, I downloaded the SMART utility, which reports the drive is failing with 8 bad sectors. (screenshot is attached). . .
