You can check with the Apple Profiler, or use Drive Setup to determine your type of drive (don't reformat). If so -- then there is a remote possibility that you also have an internal hard drive within the dock set to the same SCSI id. Yeah, I know -- far-fetched but stranger things do happen. Good luck with it -- as others have said, "it 'shouldn't' behave as you describe. paul -- ---- Paul Vail [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- http://www.afterhoursconsulting.org/ After Hours Consulting: Macintosh Service, Support & Web Hosting ---- ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
