Thanks for asking. I have checked the connections between the motherboard and the drive. Upon inspection of the wiring harness, I notice that further down the line, there is a spot wrapped in electrical tape where the previous owner had ?made a splice. I will check into that further. Assuming that the splice is ok, any other ideas? (I am trying to rule out other problems before I get a new drive.) --- Nathan Templeton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
