Possibly your drivers have gotten corrupted? Run drive setup and re-install the drivers, that might fix the problem. I have a Seagate ST15150 drive that displays similar problems, in that it will usually not mount at startup, but will after a restart or if I bang on it with SCSIProbe a couple of times. In my case I suspect it's because it's ROM'ed as a Compaq drive, for a RAID; and it's waiting for some startup signal from the RAID controller, even though, according to the jumper settings, it shouldn't be. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
