#301592 - 16/08/2007 19:04 Another "No hard disk found" diagnosis
JBjorgen carpal tunnel Registered: 19/01/2002 Posts: 3584 Loc: Columbus, OH	This is a KNOWN GOOD DISK, built in another empeg and working just fine. When this drive is transferred to the "broken" empeg, I get the attached bootlog. Any hints as to what the problem could be from the log? The header doesn't have any visibly separated pins, I definitely wouldn't rule it out. Attachments 302668-boot.txt (162 downloads) _________________________ ~ John

The cable may be coming apart and just happen to have worked in the other Empeg. I've seen this many times. How long ago did you build the drive in another Empeg? Can you try swapping a know good cable into the Empeg with the problem and see what happens? Hope this helps, Stu _________________________ If you want it to break, buy Sony!

The cable is a replacement cable with fantastic crimps. Tried with another known working cable. Same problem. Tried with another known working drive. Same problem. Looks like it's a header issue. _________________________ ~ John
