Ok, to paraphrase Stan from South Park....

I've learned something today. It doesn't matter how many times you check Tony's FAQ, or read it. You always need to go back, because there's sure to be something new in there, something that can help. Heck, I'm just one kid in this crazy messed up world, but now I'm a kid who once again has a working Empeg.

Tony, seriously, thank you so much for pointing that out to me. I (stupidly) forgot that the FAQ is constantly evolving, and didn't think to check if you'd added more info on the "No Hard Disk Found" issue.

I'll still wanna get another cable, just in case this one get's worse, but right now everything is A-OK!

Thanks to all for the help!
