Jim, I got a Maxtor 340 mb drive. Why does a un-spun-up harddrive interfere with the boot-up process? I know about that jumper, it's Jumper 5, Option 2, and it needs to be set to the "on" position to increase the time-out. That's according to Appendix B on p. 69 of the "2091 User's and Installation guide". You're exactly right, wish I'd RTFM before leaving my message! %^) I'll check/change the jumper and see what happens. Later and thanx, Jan
