Hey Netters,

Sorry for the disgusting string of acronyms in the subject line. 

Well, I went to work on my nice, new, SE30 yesterday and low and behold it
just couldn't find the hard disk. Every time I restarted it or turned it on and
off, the HD access light would start blinking and then slowly fade away. 
(Poor thing, it was really trying to find it.) I called a friend and he
mentioned that discussions on problems with the SE30's 40 meg hard drives
have been discussed here. One of the things he recalled was that some folks
encountering the same difficulty found that letting their machine heat up
helped. I left my machine on all day, checking it intermittently, and after 
about 15 hours it recovered.

If anyone can give me info on similar or related problems they have heard of 
with this setup I would appreciate it. Also, does anyone know what Apple 
dealer's are doing to solve these problems? My mac is still under warranty
and I would like to make sure it gets repaired correctly the first time.

Thanks in Advance,

Gordon Kio
