Well you've just described what happens alot on many Mac. systems. I have a
IIfx with a 200mb internal drive, and every once and a while, I get that same
error. Most of the time it happens when I start the machine up before letting
the HD slow down after a shut-down. (ex. I shut down, forget to do something,
then power up while the drive was spinning down from the initial shut-down.)
Letting the drive slow to a stop, then restarting usually clears it up, but
sometimes I have to zap the PRAM to get the SCSI to recognize the drive. No
data is ever lost. It seems to be a problem with the SCSI ports inherit in the
Mac design.
If anyone else has any other ideas, I'd be glad to hear them. There is no
data lost, but it does get ANNOYING after a while.
