[G4] Drive Partition Disappeared

[Roger Harris]

If they disconnect the SIIG they may get a boot. Disk Warrior will 
probably find a bad volume wrapper.

Have they checked the heat in the case with those drives running? My MDD 
867 would never handle more than two drives without a meltdown. I have 
two drives in the stock ATA 100 and emptied cages and ribbons from ata 
66 location to reduce heat. With two optical dives I get up to 144 deg F 
just using a web browser.
