When a drive is parked it means that the heads have been moved to a safe spot for landing. At one time you had to manually park a drive prior to shutting it down. But drives have been auto-parking for so long no one really has to think about this anymore. It sounds as though your drive went to sleep or otherwise shutdown and is not responding to a wake up call. The first 2 things I would try are sutting down the system and restarting, and using SCSI probe to reset the bus (press option and click on scan).. jim -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
