I too, am having a startup problem with a Cutting Edge drive, Seagate mechanism
. Sometimes the drive starts up on the first try, but often it requires a secon
flick of the switch to get going. It may be my imagination, but it seems that t
he drive is noisier (higher pitched and lounder) after starting when the second
 click is required. This drive has a replacement mechanism which I was given af
ter my first one went bad. My experience with calling Wyoming has been that it
is hard to get their attention and then hard to get them believe that you under
stand anything. The attitude seems to be that the user must be at fault for any
 drive problems. Since my drive can be made to work, should I worry?
