I had the same problem with the ST15150N I just got rid of. Simply put, it apparently is not a good drive to let sleep, because it takes longer than Finder is willing to wait to spin back up. Finder is very impatient! Same thing about the restart/cold boot situation: the Happy Mac won't smile at you if it takes the drive a long time to spin up. It is *right* on the borderline though, so about half the time it would boot right up and the other half it wouldn't. This was solved by adding more ram; the longer ram test gave the hard drive enough time to spin up all the way. Gotta' love that ST15150N sound... sounds like an F-16 getting ready to take off! -- --Chris PM 7500/604e 200Mhz 4 gig SCSI 256 megs OS 8.6 (This machine rocks!) -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
