I decided to swap out my IDE drive for a SCSI drive and an adapter, so I've been down for a while. But, in case you were curoius... I formatted them myself, but of course can never be certian. yes no 2.1.0 I'm not really sure what my problem was, and now I have a new one (bad tracking on my SCSI Conner). I rma'd it and got another and so'll I'll try again tonight after work. Thanks for your help and wish me luck. -jamie
