<font size="-1"><font face="Arial">I figured out the problem after
going to Maxtor's and Apple's web site. I needed to use the "partition"
operation in Disk Utility rather than "erase", even though I had no
intention of partitioning the HD. I also set the HD to master. Once I
did this the HD has remained stable and has not disappeared.<br>

Thank you to those who responded to my question.<br>

HDs and I received a cable with the ACard. I used one Maxtor and one

I just installed a Maxtor 120 in my QS 2001(yesterday) everything is
working great. From what I read you want to set the jumpers to cable
select (on my computer version on up) Also I thought that I read
something about not using the Maxtor Cable if your on a Mac. I noticed
that the cable on my existing HD had a little hole punched thru on of
the wires on the cable , apparently one of the pins on the hard drive
isn't intended for us on Macs. Good luck.
