it could be that there is a spin up delay that causes the os to miss at first bus scan. As a work around create shortcut to drive setup. after drive setup starts, select volumes not mounted and go to functions in menu bar, there is an option to mount drives/volumes. you could even have drive setup start every time you boot my putting shortcut in startup folder in system folder. i have a seagate 19171 that gets behind occasionally. charles lenington
I have a 40 gb ata disk that behaves this way aswell, and it worked flawlessly to start with, now I can not use it as a startupdisk,
the macdealer says I have to bring it in and then they will run it in the shop and then send it back to the manufacter for exchange if they find that it is faulty, (maxtor) I still have 3 months warranty left, but it is a massive work to yank it out and transport it to the dealer, is this a sign that it might fail in the future ?
