[plug] frustrated.....plzz help !

[John Clayton]

I have had this problem. It is not necessarily the drive as I tread 2 drives 
on 2 machines. Both worked on my newer machine and both failed on my older 
machine. I figured that is might have been a limit of the old machines ide 
controller as it might only have been able to handle 650 megs instead of the 
700 megs that modern ide's can handle
