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...

Frustration is running amok. I have a rev. 2 B&W. I put a 30 GB Maxtor drive

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
