I am having the same problem with the same drive on my win98se system. My
question to both of you is: how is your drive configured? Is it on the
primary or secondary IDE chain? Is is set up as the master or slave? What
else is on that IDE chain on your system?

I've searched high and low on the web site for any help - no dice. I spent
25 minutes on hold with support before getting disgusted and hanging up.
