Also as pctek said... Hitachi :groan: :badpc: :yuck: I have had 2 Hitachi drives die on me... I never go from Seagate, don't look at anything else. Well if X does not work on its own (no H) then it is most likely the drive... have you tested them in another PC? Not sure if this is relevant to your situation on not... but I have a 320GB external drive which I use via eSATA and for some reason (havn't found out why and don't have the time to find out...) it wouldn't work on one of the SATA headers... but the SATA header works normally with an internal drive... :confused: Oh well...

I then found that the HD Boot priorities seemed to reset themselves every time I dis/reconnected drive h: so I had to set the RAID device to top of the list. Now it works again, although the first time I rebooted I had an inexplicable BSOD error and instant reboot. Ok after rebbot though. But for now everything is working. Signing off Thanks for all attempts to help and impart knowledge :)	digikiwi (10681)
