Florian, thanks very much for your very helpful reply. well, i did 'hdprm -B 255' and let the thing sit overnight. the next day the number of load cycles was ~300 as best i can remember. did the same thing with same results for 'hdprm -B 254'. please let me know if there is any other way i can improve the quality of my post. tom arnall arcata -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
