In my QS 2002 Dual 1GHz under 10.5.7, my "750GB Seagate PATA is Dropping Out Again".
Details of drive: ST3750640A 7200.10 750GB Master setting and on last black connector of cable. Had this issue before ... wondering if its time to get a replacement from Seagate? Its only a year old, with very low use. Used it as an external FW drive, but reformatted and cloned all partitions back awhile ago for use as an internal drive. I've replaced the mobo awhile ago as well, and just switched in the Apple supplied ATA cable from another Mac, thinking it is a defective cable. New RAM tests OK. I hear a definitive "multi/single-click", like either the DVD RW and/ or Zip Drive is shutting down, then I get a spinning beach ball ... then the QS just freezes at that point, or continues to spin the beach ball. My QS seems to function ok from a clone of the OS X 10.5.7 on an external FW enclosure. Having replaced the DVD RW awhile ago, maybe I didn't have it Jumpered properly?
