Well... It looks as if the problem is still there.
  My computer will recognize the external Indus GT-1000 5.25" drive,
MAYBE once in 15 boots, and no matter what programs I boot up with.

  BUT, pc-ditto recognizes it EVERY SINGLE TIME.   

  WHY?

  I am going to check the cable, but I doubt I will find it faulty.

  ANY help would be appreciated.
