I just have a few questions now we are on the subject.
1. What is better Maxtor, Western Digital, or LITE-On I think it is?
Lite-On doesn't make IDE hard drives that I'm aware of. The major
brands I see are Maxtor, Seagate and Western Digital (there are other
brands too but that's just off the top of my head).
I have been happiest with Western Digital. They run cooler than
Maxtor and quiet. I tend to buy the "Special Edition" ones with the
8MB cache rather than the 2MB cache. Makes a difference in performance.
2. I own a FireLite 40 GB FireWire drive that I use with OSX Panther
and with OS9 only at work. I also own a 20 GB one but the 40 GB drive
seems to be having problems
Get it to mount and then run DiskWarrior on it. I'd bet anything it
will find (and fix) some directory and wrapper problems. If you don't
have DW, get it. Until then, you can try using Disk Utility in OS X
which should also help fix it.

Claiming that the Macintosh is inferior to Windows because most
people use Windows is like saying that all other restaurants are
inferior to McDonald's.
