Because I discovered the hard disk crash during the latter part of my lunch hour, I didn't get a chance to troubleshoot the problem. So, tonight I shut down the system and check the power cables and EIDE cable. Everything appeared A-OK. I turn on the power and run the BIOS HD config. Damn if the BIOS doesn't see the drives. Needless to say, I am back up and running, not knowing for sure where the problem lies. One less HD failure for Maxtor :-) MB -- System Administrator - Finnigan FT/MS - Madison WI.
