Actually, in my experience, the drive may not have a permement failue. You can re-activate the drive again, it will resync the failed drive, and you are running again. If it happens too frequently, replace the drive. --- Wayne Johnson, | There are two kinds of people: Those 3943 Penn Ave. N. | who say to God, "Thy will be done," Minneapolis, MN 55412-1908 | and those to whom God says, "All right, (612) 522-7003 | then, have it your way." --C.S.
