I'm not familiar with "factory" but the Western Digital drives of my experience have three (actually four, but who uses CS?) settings, Master, Slave, Single. In most instances, if the drive is alone on the cable it needs to be set to Single, not Master. It sounds like your "Factory" setting is the same as Single. Other brands don't have this quirk, I believe. Jeff Walther -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
