Hhmm...Could be... The MDK7.0 installation mentioned something about a
problem with reading
translation table. Are you familiar with DiskGo? When I purchased the
drive, I had to navigate to
the Fujitsu web site, and download DiskGo. Otherwise, the entire drive
would not get recognized.
I will check the email archives from May and June. This where my
original messages can be found.
Thanks,
Roman
