Here's a log from when it doesn't boot. What looks likely here? Hopefully it's something simple (drive cable). The IDE header seems to be in place.

Code:

robricc carpal tunnel Registered: 30/10/2000 Posts: 4931 Loc: New Jersey, USA	We tried a new drive today and the empeg does the same thing, so that's probably not it. The drive cable (original) looks OK, but I will change it tomorrow. _________________________ -Rob Riccardelli 80GB 16MB MK2 090000736
