Check your power supply too. Joachim's suggestions on cables is good too. A useful tool I've found is www.UltimateBootCD.com. Comes with lots of hard drive diagnostic utilities as well as other troubleshooting software. Depending on the drive manufacturer their utilities may offer both non-destructive as well as destructive options. Haven't tried all of them but the ones I've tried offer surface test analysis. > > thanks > jdd Stan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
