Hi,
I dont think its a failure of the caddy because I can still use the
120Gb drive as normal & if I put in a 20Gb drive into the caddy which
I have fitted the 160Gb previously the 20Gb drive will boot and load
the OS on that disk.

I wonder if anyone can answer this for me. I had a Seagate drive that wasdrive
deemed faulty with the above fault so I returned it under warrantee. I
received a replacement that gives the same error at the first boot during
the windows XP setup routine. With the drive in the removable caddy the
error occurs but if I connect the drive to the IDE cables directly the
will boot ok. I have a 120Gb drive normally working in the bay and thathas
always been fine, my second drive is a 250Gb drive so the bios does nothave
a problem with large drives. All IDE cables are 80 pins type.
Any suggestions are welcome.
thanks
Neil
The caddy or it's base *CAN* fail...
I have about 25 removable drives in a total of three computers and have
found that the caddy or it's base can fail from time to time...- Hide quoted text -
