Hi Kent, I recently had the same problem, as my machine is 6 months old it obviously couldn't be a HD failure, so I investigate a bit, and finally found....... that the internal metal clips of the supply connector were not enough tightened (it certainly comes from the many tests I made with several HDs and devices). I just tighten them with a little screwdriver, and now its working perfectly. So, if your supply connector is very easy to (un)plug, check that. JY -- Jean-Yves F.
