Don, Got a solution to your hard drive problem. 🙂 This is gonna take some time, but this is what you'll have to do: Backup both of your hard drives. You may not need it, but it would be better to back them up just in case. Next, use HDToolbox to edit the definition for each drive setting the reselect flag to NO. While you're in HDToolbox, enter the partitioning screen and readjust the partitions to your original settings. (this is where the backup comes in) You MAY need to restore all your data from the backups if you don't get the partitions EXACTLY right. Good luck! Dave Commodore Online Relations

Thanks to your warning about the partitioning. I wrote down the track numbers before turing off re-select, made the changes for the 2 disks then used the numbers I wrote down to re-partition the drives. After saving, everything worked fine, so I didn't even have to restore the backups. So far, so good. I've used the system for about 8 hours so far with no problems. Thanks for your help. – Don
