I read your message about the Seagate hard drive. Believe me you are not alone. I have had several horror storries with Seagate drives. It seems that they require a wear-in factor, meaning that they need to re re-formatted a certain number of times periodically. Personally, I would stay away from Seagate drives for the time being. Miniscribe makes great drives, I have had them and have never had a problem with them. If you have any other questions just leave me a note... - Matt Weisberg - :SAVE :done :end :z :finished :list /f :s :quit :exit /EX :ex :donw :done
