1. Is Energy Saver set to shut down hard drives when possible? If so, ten uncheck that. 2. Do the drives have an auto-power button setting versus an always-on option? Because my LaCie have this, and if so- switch it to always on... ??? I have not heard of "firmware" updates for most hard drives but it's also something to investigate. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
