I have an approx 9G HD that supplements my startup 3G one on my 7600 (9.0.4, plenty RAM and G4 360 MHz upgrade) This 9G is partitioned into 1G and 7.5G. These two have started not to always mount. But always do on restart. I have put through varios diagnostics (like Norton, Disk First Aid). They seem to function fine when mounted. Wondering ... anyone had this prob and found a solution? Am I thinking this through? Could it be a pram battery getting low? No, how come it recovers ability to mount on restart?
Sounds like a spin-up issue. If the drive doesn't spin up fast enough in the start up then it will not mount. When you restart, its already spinning and ready to mount. Check the power cable to the drive & see if its loose or the contacts are dirty.
Also did you disable the ram check on startup from the memory control panel? If so re-enable it and see if the problem disappears.
