Umm, unless this is a used drive, you DO have a warrentee with yamaha.. I don't
know of any company that doesn't give warrentees, in fact, there is a law with
reguards to that. If you buy a seagate drive, as an example, from a dealer,
the dealer doesn't give you a warrentee on it.. and has NO responsiblilty
(other than ethical/moral, or one he stated when you bought the drive) to
provide you with warrentee support! Seagate, on the other hand, has to provide
a manufacturer's warrentee on the product. The same is true of yamaha.
The dealer giving you a warrentee on the drive, in other words, does, and can
not, invalidate the manufactures warrentee....
