I just got a 100 meg unit from LaCie and it REALLY whines. But the disk
unit is completely sealed and there is no access to the spindle. The drive
is made by "Connor". Any suggestions on how to eliminate the whine?
Also my 100 meg drive refuses to be the boot drive. In fact it won't mount
from a cold start. If I do a restart then the drive mounts with the defined
partitions I made. On a cold start if I use SilverLining to mount the drive it
says no SCSI drivers were installed or trys to reformat the drive.
Any suggestions? Is this normal?
