I am using a WD 20.5 G hard drive (205BA) . I also have a Maxtor 8. g hard drive set up with a windows file system as a secondary drive. The 20.5 primary is on a removable rack so that I can switch back to windows. I have removed the secondary drive and still have the trouble . I have even went to the point where I wrote all zeros to the 20 G drive. I have used rescue and reformatted the drive and I still have the trouble. .
