Dear Francis It was really great to be able to welcome you here this afternoon in the snowy mountains of Wales! Yes the hard drive always does show up on the desk top ...Eventually, if that's what is meant by mounting ! When you were here it was being a real pig on starting....perhaps we were not giving it enough time? I was wondering why after a brief flurry of h drive activity there is about one minute of no drive activity whatsoever ...this always happens. Also at what stage in the start up procedure does the ram become a consideration? And finally how does one alter/check the SCSI settings. I am used to being able to observe and monitor the start up procedure on a Win2K machine and go into the SCSI utilities to alter settings if required...all very easy when you know how. There has got to be a way of doing this with the Macs, but how anyone! All the best Richard -- For quality scans that are really right...No Messing. Satisfaction Guaranteed.
