I formatted the drive on another machine. the interesting thing is that I even put the disk drive on its own power supply. So this tells me that power to the motherboard must be bad ( I even tried a different mother board). Can anyone tell me what the -12V on the motherboard does? brad@bradley.bradley.edu Brad Smith Bradley University
