Has anyone ever experienced this problem with Disk Express II 2.04:

You perform an optimization and then you shutdown the system-- when you
next try to boot the system, the hard drive will not boot and will not mount.
Apple HD Setup doesn't even acknowledge that you've got a hard disk in SCSI 0.

The only way to get the Disk to mount again is to use SCSI Probe 2.01 and issue
a mount command, and then reboot. The hard disk then resumes to work fine.

I have been trying to find a way to duplicate the problem but so far it has
happens only randomly.

Ideas, anyone?
