Perhaps there is a configuration problem somewhere ? Hi Guys, SOLVED (?) Everything worked fine when the 1Tb external segate wasn’t connected which would seem to indicate that either the disk or the usb2 port was broke. So I re-connected the 1Tb external segate and ran ceckdisk (scandisk on this system) on the 1Tb external segate resulting in a clean run, no errors !

The heads park and the drive stops spinning. But, win xp polls it every hour or so and gets an error (that isn’t a error !) Solution…. Turn the segate off when not in use. I can’t fine a better solution to this in the manual. I really appreciate all the help you people have given me on this problem, which, in the end turned out to be something so simple. I only discovered this error warning because I looked at the event viewer because my system occasionally re-boots it's self. There are no event reports on this so it may be due to automatic MS up-dates having been completed. Thanks to all, Phil H.	jupiter1 (2578)
