I have a DiamondMax, 30GB drive and because of a problem described below thought I may have the jumpers set incorrectly. The documentation I received with the drive was different that what I found on the Maxtor site. The documentation showed two jumpers and the Maxtor site showed no jumpers. The Service Tech I talked with explained that the positions the two jumpers were in were merely for storage as the pins they were on were not used. The problem I was trying to solve is when the Maxtor is connected I will occasionally see empty folders. These folders definitely have files in them, but when double-clicked they show up empty. After closing the folder and opening it again the files are there. My Maxtor is normally connected to the data cable, but I leave the power cable unplugged. When I do my monthly backup I plug in the Maxtor power cable and backup my entire HD. I don't know if there is some conflict between the two drives. My original drive is a Maxtor and the DiamondMax is set to be a slave. The Maxtor Service Tech said he had never heard of my problem and that they do not support Macs. I could only test the drive by installing it on a PC. Duh! Have any of you had this problem of empty folders? Even if you haven't had the problem I sure would like to hear any ideas about what causes this annoying problem. Thanks. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
