Tha't pretty much the same behavior I saw when I tried it. On a 1000, stay with a <137gb ata100 drive. 7200 rpm is ok if it runs cool enough. Some drives that run ata133 may be configurable for ata100 via a utility, like the samsung drives. I did not see that with Maxtor. I'm using a wd1200BB drive.

SnapAssist then gave me the option to setup the server....which I did with success..... 
So now, the goal was to upgrade the HD to a 120 that I just had laying around. It's a Maxtor ATA133 120 GB. I read a couple of posts out here where people are having trouble with those, but I'm not sure if I'm seeing the same problems or not....
Using the same Knoppix method that worked on the 30 GB drive, I was able to get the image installed onto the 120GB drive. I put it in the Snap Server and powered it up. It comes up and Snap Assist can see it. Just like before, since I don't know the Administrator password, I performed the same type of manual reset. Now when the server reboots, the system light blinks twice a second the Disk light stays on solid, and Snap Assist can no longer see the server.
Am I doing something wrong? :shrug:
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!
Thanks,
