gotcha. I think the problem is that one of the drives is "hosed" I opened the case and mounted 2 of the three extra drives, and one popped up on the desktop :-).. the other could be seen on FWB and various scsi scanning programs but I couldn't do anything with it.
so I removed it and added the other of the three HD's in it's place, and they both popped up on start up. I think the other one is just gone. And I think something is wrong with the external SCSI connector Now I have a new problem :-) there are only 4 power and 4 SCSI connectors in the case and I have 5 devices (CD, 3 HD and a ZIP [ the ZIP is disconnected now]) Anyone know where I can find something that will give me 1 more SCSI and Power connector like some kind of pig tail connector?
