It seems to be certain Harddrives with CERTAIN versions of the SX1
we have not seen the SX32 working with a Harddisk YET!, but
if the problems do occur with this... 

The Bootdisk now available from...

http://www.netlink.co.uk/users/digiarts/utils.html

The harddisks do work when the priority is changed to a higher number,
but some Cd32 games cause problems??

Don't know why as yet! we are testing them as we speak.
