Hi Todd,

I've similar problems with my unit. In my case the powersupply for the
HD is broken. So just measure the motor- voltage on the 44pin ATA plug
(I think it's pin (41 or 42). It has to be 5V. If it's there measure it
again, when the HD is plugged in. If it's missing you have the same
problem Oliver and I had

On oliver's unit the soldering- points on the 40 pin- plug have been the
problem. They've been broken and after resoldering the unit has been
fine again. In my case Voltage brakes down, when the disk tries to spin
up. I found the problem, but it still isn't fixed.

Cheers,

Markus
