when i chanded it it worked fine after..

try looking at that..

So is that a switch on the bare drive itself???? that would be easy... I'll check it out... since I never had it in a computer I guess that may be the default setting since most of these DO get put into a computer...

thanks, I'll look for that...

I wish I was on a MAC...:)

Dave, you are the king.... you were right on target... there is a little bridge pin on the back of the bare drive.... there are about 4 places it could go... according the the diagram on the drive it looked like it should be removed, but that didnt do it, so I tried the next pins over and that was it...

all is good...

thanks again....http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforum...ons/icon10.gif
