Changed cables?

Many SNAP servers (with multiple drives), but not all, use cable select cables not standard IDE cable. While this may not be a problem in your case, and most certainly is not the orignal problem, changing the cable in the middle of this process "MAY HAVE" created another problem in the process. Meaning, the new drive might have corrected your problem but changing the cables kept it from doing so. In fact this may be why your error messages changed and no longer showing a fatal disk error.

Hey, just my 2 cents worth. I do not have a 4100, but my 4000 does in fact use cable select cables and changing them to standard IDE cables would be a problem. But as I said, Dave can correct me if I am wrong here and I will just shut up.

Well after I found the other cable didn't change anything I put the original back on so unless it stored the information away somewhere I would think it'd change it back?
