...after about five hours the scan hung up at 68%...is it safe to say that it's a hard drive error? i'll try rebooting and doing it again.

i rebooted and got " warning Smart Failure Predicted on Primary Master"....I'm thinkin' "the isht done hit the fan!!"

Yes sorry to say but it's the hard drive

I would slave it back up to your other system and get all the files you need from this drive right away.

I don't have the disks to reinstall the software thats on the drive. is there anyway to salvage it to another drive?

You might be able to do it with from Maxtor.
Maxblast will just duplicate the data from one drive to the next no error checking.
So as long as the drive will spin up there is a chance you can copy it over.

Most likely you will still have to repair the software file but that should be easy for you by now.
