Eye of gnewt comes in whenever you've just added an additional hard disk to your empeg and discovered you "did something" which caused "bad things" to happen when trying to boot up the player again.

I almost experimented in human sacrifising to get it working again. It turned out (I hope) to be a loose connection on that short/tight fitting IDE cable ... after the nineth time of disassembly/reassembly it started working again and hasn't failed me since.

I still carry it around like a little baby kitten so as not to jar anything loose (especially that IDE cable), but I think it's fixed for good.
