Hi, I am running a PowerComputing PowerCenter Pro 240 with an Acard Ultra ATA66 PCI card (AEC6260m) OS 8.6. So far I've used 2 drives with it - they seem to be working pretty well, but they are not in the list of supported drives. However, I do get 1 odd piece of behavior that I'm curious if anyone has had any problems with:
If I shut down the machine normally, and then disconnect the it completely from the power source, it gives me the "This computer was has crashed or was shut down improperly" (paraphrasing....) message. If I shut the machine down normally, but leave the power connected, it reboots fine, without errors. When I first got the machine, I was having problems with the clock resetting itself as well, so I replaced the battery, and that went away. So any ideas on what is changing when power is removed? Do you think that the error is a sign of possible drive corruption? I've run both disk first-aid and DiskWarrior on both drives, but the seem to be working a-okay, but I've got a nagging suspicion that they might not be, because they're not (apparently) in the list of drives. Any clues/help/similar? Has anyone gotten this with approved drives?
