Message-ID: I have a G4 MDD 1.25, with several internal and external drives. In one of the drive cases (holds two drives) with the Oxford chip, I have one 80 GB and one 150. The 150 does not show up anymore on the desktop, even though the 80 does. I ran Disk Utility, and during repair it shows all is well. It mounts in the window of D/U, but goes off again. It shows healthy, but does not mount. Now all of a sudden, it shows 0 files. Drive tests well, all seems well. I ran a defrag program on it (Genius) and it defraged the drive, showing lots of my files as far as blocks used. Ideas how to get it to mount again?

I will now try the problem drive as a Master and see what happens. Thanks for the help.

If it mounts does and the drive that is currently not mouting mounts in the other slot the Oxford interface at that 1st location is going bad or has gone bad.
