The HD is standard seagate barracuda ATA drive (30 gig). I am using an ata100 cable. now I'm nervous. don't know why the drive would have had the error. Are there any freebsd utils that I can use to test the drive? -- David Bear phone: 480-965-8257 fax: 480-965-9189 College of Public Programs/ASU Wilson Hall 232 Tempe, AZ 85287-0803 "Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing"
