I had a HD taking ages to wake up and discovered I had the little jumper on the wrong setting for slave / master. ( had been mucking around with Raid and forgot to change it back.
When I took the jumper off it was gangbusters speed again.

my ide drive has been making "boot up" noises intermittently, and then it failed to post

works fine in an external enclosure
the rest of the machine seems happy enough, although the primary master is sata and has a different power from the psu

what is the normal voltage to an ide drive?
can one bit of the psu output be defective

the onboard nvidia lan has gone on the blink, though the second onboard lan (3 com) is mostly happy

is the psu dying ? - it's only a few months old (antec smartpower 400w)

c'mon - makes a change from endless argument about software... do something useful :-) help me !
