[G4] Drive Partition Disappeared

[Brian Conner]

Wow, that's a pretty hefty temperature. I've rerouted cables specifically to
improve airflow, and the old ATA cables are no longer in the case.

However, you point is well taken. I have an indication from this client that
the system was left on all night last night.

Hmmmm.

If Apple System Profiler can't see them, how can I get DiskWarrior to see
them? I'm having a brain freeze here.

Thanks.


Brian

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.
