Re: broken 2/3 2200 snaps :0(
The 2000 should have drives set as Master/slave. Some of the v2 were set to Cable select.
So if I read all of your notes, you were able to get the 40 gigs to work with v3. Snaps have had a history of not playing well with Maxtor's EIDE drives. And some times depending on the system, the capacity is set by the master.
If you are still having problems remove the slave (closes to the power supply) and work with jusst one drive. Once it sees everything corectly you can install the slave.
60 C is a little hot. Is your cooling fan running??? But these units were not design with 7200 rpm drive is mind. Most all original drives are 5400 rpm. If the fan fails your 2000 will end up like mine, fried. My fan would start up then shutdown after it got hot, being so quite I did not detect the problem in time. One morning I just got a message unable to connect to Snap#####. Damage done, lost 2 hd and system board.
Well if here is anything else you may need were here. Even though the time is almost 12 hr difference.
