Hello, I once tried a newer hard drive on an old motherboard. I think the hard drive was spinning down (power saving) and the motherboard treated it as an error.
It may just be a bad drive. If that is the case, it will die in the next couple of days anyway. Best of luck. *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 7/10/00 at 11:54 PM JoeCool wrote: >Hi, > >I'm getting some Input/Output error messages and also messages in the syslog >on a server about the harddrive.
