I've used an Intel 320 80GB drive for about 3 weeks before getting this error. After losing power my pc couldn't find my OS. When I looked the drive said it was only 8MB. I don't recall seeing the "Bad Context 13x Error" anyplace but I'm assuming this is the same issue.
Is there a way to reinitialize the drive back to 80GB and if so is this something I can do or do I have to RMA it?
I was running it as a boot drive on Windows 7 64 bit.
The model number is SSDSA2CW080G3
Serial Number- CVPR136402QQ080GBN

I'm in the same boat man and this is my second drive.

Hmm, when did this happen? Was it after you shut the machine down (properly), just powered it off without shutting down first or did you lose power?
The SSD issues i've seen seem to be related to power cycling machines or losing power, so far..

Just yesterday but this is the replacement drive to another that met the same fate. The OS locked up during a proper shutdown attempt and then could only be powered off with the power button Same fate met by the orignal drive but the first drive had several lock ups before finally biting the bullet. With this one there was no warning.
