That was what I needed up doing when I started suspecting hard drives. Move the suspicious one to a seperate bus, and if it *still* gives problems, it becomes easier to narrow down. In my case, I moved my Connor drives to one bus and my Quantum to the other, and when the bus with the connor drives on it locked up, I had a pretty good idea that it was one of the two Connor drives that was shot...got rid of the bad one of those (which is currently in its own machine...) and the machine has been running reasonably quiet since *knock on wood* Marc G.
