You might want to try turning the Connors drive on and letting it warm up fo
r about 30 seconds before you start up your machine. I have the same problem
with my 80 megabyte Quantum Q280 and a Micronet M3180S (a 160 Megger). If I
don't let the external drive warm up a bit, it won't boot from it (in fact,
in some cases, it wn't even mount the drive at all).

Hope this helps,
