How do you have your drive setup is it a slave to another cd-rom or your HD.
or is it a master on it's own ide interface ? still looking for other
possibilities. My drive is setup to be a slave to my Cd-Rom drive on my
secound interface. That's what Iomega recomended. I hear that if it's hooked
up as slave to your HD you will have problems.
