You're throwing the baby out with the wash!

Their disk partitioning and data transfer software is the best of any HD
software I've seen. I admit the default button should be the other one but
is that any reason to flame the works for it???

They're probally right.  We have 6 or 7 of the LaCie drives (no 80's) and have
never run into this problem.  I hit the restart & interupt buttons all the
time and have never had this problem. I know of at least a dozen other people
who have Lacie Drives and they have never had this problem.  I have no doubts
they can't reproduce your problem. Your problem probally really is specific to
haveing a 80 on a Mac II.

I'd be careful about making flames just because you are frustrated & having
problems.

Did you try turning off the cache?
