Lee,
Well..if the disk is spun down…it's kind of hard to read it..thus
you get a read/write error.
Of course, the next time you try it…the disk has spun back up (or
gone "active") and it works.
In other words…it's a combination problem. The disk drive going
inactive and the host adapter software not being able to handle the "not
ready" reply to the first request.
