Peter,
Could you expand on this a little. I think I frizzed a pair of 20
gig IDE drives the other day while trying to get them ready for a card. I
put them one at a time into a 6300 and intialized them and wrote zeros. Took
a long time. then, when installing an OS, it failed, and the drives seemed
to go kablooey. If there's a way to revive them I'd sure like to. It is
probable that the drives were bad when I got them, but it is not certain.
