When you do format it, write zeros to it. That is a true litmus test. I agree the drive is the prime suspect in this...

So...I put a 80GB Western Digital into the Rev. 2 and installed Panther.
First disk no problem. Second disk repeatedly gives me a problem. Software
errors encountered - or some message of this type. I put the drive in a rev.
2 - same problem. Tried a "copy" of my Panther disk - similar problem.
Always on the second disk, but not always in the same place.


Any thoughts?

Well you've pretty well narrowed it down to that 80 gb disk...do a reformat of that disk DFA on it. If those don't fix it, and it's a new drive, get it replaced under warrantee.

Thanks,


Glenn
