I won't comment on the m/o drive, however - how did you get 7.05, and what
date is it?  Unless it is very late, i.e., close to production bits (and
as far as I know it is not there yet), you can have a version which does
NOT have the apropriate patches in it.

Otherwise, if it is in fact 7.0 or 7.03 you really need to get p107 aka
the August bits.
