It's also not impossible that you're encountering a batch of bad disks, so check message boards, and post your serial or batch number for comparison. Another possibility is a bad IDE controller. You might try plugging the disk into an IDE cotroller add-in card to test this. Borrow if possible, buy if necessary. Peace. -- Karsten M.
