Thanks Matt. I've got the HDD replaced. I contacted a Seagate Authorized Service Center here in India and they got it replaced for Free within a week. Apart from the hassle of traveling and trying to get this fixed, I don't think I've lost anything. I had a backup of all the data with a friend's system. So right now the new (probably refurbished) Maxtor is working fine. For how long, only God knows.
