frog51 pooh-bah Registered: 09/08/2000 Posts: 2091 Loc: Edinburgh, Scotland	Thought I'd get pop new hard drives in as I was starting to get some odd issues (not least being a mismatch of results on the ide_test) during boot, and far too many media checks. Looks like it may not have been drive issues, as today I get a response of 2023 from 0000, FFFF, AAAA and 5555. Bizarrely it all appears to work, and I have tested synchronising etc., but I'm guessing something a bit more serious than a cable problem (I recrimped anyway, but no joy) Any thoughts above and beyond the FAQ info? _________________________ Rory MkIIa, blue lit buttons, memory upgrade, 1Tb in Subaru Forester STi MkII, 240Gb in Mark Lord dock MkII, 80Gb SSD in dock

The IDE data test is meaningless unless your player reports other hardware issues, or unless the drives still fail after the final test. -ml Edited by mlord (03/06/2007 18:44)

I was fairly certain the drive I swapped out had issues, but then on seeing this in the logs I just thought the worst. I will now complete the upload of the remaining 12000 tracks:-) Thanks Mark. _________________________ Rory MkIIa, blue lit buttons, memory upgrade, 1Tb in Subaru Forester STi MkII, 240Gb in Mark Lord dock MkII, 80Gb SSD in dock
