The HD has to be the primary master, and the CD the secondary master. Because the CD bus is only ATA 16,67MHz, while the HD bus is ATA33MHz, not fast either , but faster anyway. > Disk First Aid has repeatedly shown filesystem errors, which I resolved > either with Disk First Aid itself or by repartitioning or reformatting. This means that you have data corruption. Could either be that the HD doesn't like being on the CD bus, and/or the HD always gets corrupted by the onboard IDE. The B&W G3 Rev1 is known to have data corruption with certain drives. Especially when using a slaved HD since the Rev1 does not work with slave HDs at all. Buying a PCI IDE controller would solve this problem. Of course the HD could be bad anyway, you said you formatted the HD several times but have you also done a low level format? For the heck of it I would go out and get a new IDE drive, since they're cheap nowadays, and get a PCI IDE controller a long with it. OWC is a good reseller (www.macsales.com. Not affiliated BTW). Also although you've tested all three sticks, they could be bad anyway. IMHO just get some PC133 256MB sticks aswell. HTH, Marc * * -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
