Thanks for your helpful suggestion Raphael. Yes you are correct, my problem did relate to a SCSI disk but I had already checked the cables/terminators and everything looked ok physically. However, thanks to the help I received from another ALUG list subscriber on Friday/Saturday, the problem has now been resolved and the disk is now fully functional again (refer to my posts yesterday for explanation). Your point about terminators is however one worth reiterating when dealing with SCSI disks.
Ian.

This is a SCSI disk. Open your case and make sure that all the connectors are properly pushed home - including the one on the mmotherboard. BTW I assume you have all the correct terminators on?
