if you need any info this is my msn messenger :[email protected]

Work with it how? Move files around on it or touch it?

undefined no its just that even if i just use the second one alone and not even conn3ect the power connector with the first.

try to change IDE channels for the drives, or maybe put them in a diff. system to test. Does the HDD spin clearly at bootup?

yes the drive does but at random timers it shuts down . and whats funny is it does it with every brand.

Three Possibilities:

1) Power connector to that HDD is loose; check the molex connector and the metal contacts inside to make sure that they are making a solid connection with the HDD power connector.

2)PSU voltages may be too low; use a volt meter and make sure that the power getting to the HDD is adaquete (11.6V - 12.4V for 12V / 4.7V - 5.3V for 5V)

3) Peliminary HDD failure; download Seagates diagnostic tools and run a full test on the HDD.

good luck

actually i already tried using a differnent power connector for the drive
and the drive is new.
