Would that cause this kind of symptom, though? I was more suspicious of a mechanical failure because it makes some occasional soft sounds like the drive is trying to spin up, but can't quite make it. I should think a dead controller wouldn't even try to do that, but I would appreciate re-education if my assumption is wrong :-) -- ----------------------------- personal page: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Point Loma Nazarene University * [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Use [Microsoft] IE and Passport and you can browse like it's 1984. -- /. --- -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
