Rick, with a warm reboot the drive is not recognised at POST. If I shut
down and reboot within a minute or two, the same result. Leaving the
computer off for an extended period gets the hard drive back (for a
short time only, maybe 15 to 20 minutes). I tried using it as a slave
drive, with the same result. It was tried in another computer, same
result. I think it's about time unfortunately to junk it. Thank you for
your reply.
Cheers,
Alan Priol.
Questions: (Things to try or think about...)
The COMPUTER locks up, not the harddrive, right?
When you re-boot, do you do a warm boot, or a FULL
power down and thirty second wait to restart? (Try the second.)
Can you put the drive into a second machine and run it as a DATA
drive to see what happens?
I'd also try another drive in "this" system as a BOOT drive to see
if the system was unstable powerwise or something.
Hope this helps... Rick Glazier
