I have a MDD dual boot 1.25 GHz G4. I have several IDE hard disks in a UMAX

<snip>- will the presence of both SCSI and IDE
drivers result in some potential conflict/instability that might produce kernel
panic? All four of the disks in the MDD had these dual driver partitions.
BTW, the Apple tech recommended that I not partition the disks into multiple
mountable volumes with OSX. I neglected to mention the dual driver partioning
when I described the configuration and history of my problem.
Not sure about conflicts, but, for the transfer to the MDD, I would slap the drive into a FW400 case and transfer that way. Not theoretically as fast as mounted on the same internal bus, but quite acceptable transfer speeds. It has the benefit of "immunizing", through isolation, the MDD. I've rescued data off of questionable drives I did not want to install in my MDD by doing this. FW400 external case kits have come down way down in price.
