Thanks for the response

I have a bit of paper blocking the motor contacts, but the problem is that the hard drive powers up, and then powers Down before I have a chance to run the commands.

Make sense?

Best, J

DEar All,

So, here I go doing the same as all above, yet I cant seem to work out why I am not succeeding.

I Power up the hard drive. wait to press ctrl z so its not too soon, but by the time ive waited 20 seconds, the drive just wants to power down and stop making noises. It produces me with an error that is this

led000000cc faddr 0025bf67

or

led000000ce faddr 0028e24b

depending on whether i try to rush it or not....

please someone help!

James
