I've got two Seagates like that attached to my secretary's C500, and the same thing happens every now and then.

That's where the good news end.
I'm trying to get a Seagate "big foot" external hooked up to it, but it
loses the driver every time I shut down the computer. I have to manually
update it through Drive Setup, restart, and it shows up again. What would
cause that and how do I get rid of the problem?
I don't know what would cause that, but I would try a low level format and see if it makes a difference. Are you useing the copy of Drive Setup which came with OS 9.1? Weird problems like the one you describe are usually caused by using a formatting utility which is out of date for the OS with which it is being used. If you have something like an up to date copy of HD SpeedTools you might try that. They had a downloadable limited time copy available. You might give that a try. If it solves your problem, that's a clue. Oh, <http://www.intechusa.com>
