I have these 3 ATA drives Ive been trying to get to work with
my system
for a while now. 2 are 4.3GB eide or ata/33 drives, one given to
me and one
taken out of a Umax C600 mac clone. The other is a 40gb ata/66
refurbished IBM
Deskstar I think, which was a little loud when I first got it. Ive
formatted
these drives with Disk Utility but still encounter problems, such
as not
mounting and freezing my system. And I have a 6GB OEM apple drive,
which has not
been defragged after a few years of OS 9 use. Understandably it
shouldnt be
reliable (and it isnt) but disk utility often reports on it that
everything is
fine. So, any other (free) programs I should consider trying?
If they're unreliable after reformatting, the drives are going, the
IDE interface is, or the cable's shot. And that IBM is the one they
nicknamed the "DeathStar" iirc.
