Well, after not having any hardware problems at all with my A3000T, today, POOF! My DF0: drive will not read any disks, whatsoever. It just gives me the "DF0:????" and "PC0:????" whenever I put a good disk in. Before I go ripping into my (past warrantee) machine, does anyone here think it more likely to be the disk drive or a chip? Thanks for any help! *B^) -= Vance =- Image Master Flying high on Black Belt Systems' Imagemaster R/t!

Nevermind. It turned out to be a loose cable connection to the motherboard. Working fine now. -= Vance =- Image Master Flying high on Black Belt Systems' Imagemaster R/t!

Are you sure that the drive isn't just slightly out of line from the slot in the case – I have a 3000T as well and have had similar problems, the drive isn't fixed too firmly and can move up and down slightly, thus when you insert a disk it doesn't sit right. Take the front cover off and insert a disk, if it reads it ok, then you know what the problem is :^) It's just a case of getting the drive aligned with the slot correctly.

Thanks for the suggestions. I found that the drive cable on the motherboard's end had worked loose of a few pins. Thanks again. -= Vance =- Image Master Flying high on Black Belt Systems' Imagemaster R/t!
