Hi there,
I just bought today a FreeAgentPro ST310005FPD1E3-RK and when I checked the hdd with his utility, I've got the following  error code  A1E8E242. Does anyone know what it means?
Thanks.

Meanwhile the hdd gave me after that error code also the $MFT and died (probably the boot is broken). I changed it today. Hopefully the new one will work fine.

8-digit codes usually mean the drive has failed.
Please see the Common Issues thread at the top of this board for a link to troubleshooting $mft issues.
