I've finally gotten around to putting one of my WD40 gig HDs into a firewire
case. This drive was in my s900 and it became flakey and ultimately
disappeared from the desktop.
Does anyone have any ideas how to recover it to a functional level. Or should
I try Western Digital and see if they will take it back, I don't
know how long
their warranty lasts.
My apologies if you're already aware of this, but you must set
Western Digital drives to "Single" and not to "Master" if they are
the only drive on the cable, such as is the situation in a FW box.
Other brands work fine when set to Master even if they're alone, but
WD drives have this third setting for when the drive is solo.
Master, Slave and Single are set by configuring the jumpers on the
end of the drive, usually between the IDE connector and the power
connector.
