Thanks. Actually, these are still IDE drives
. I just took out the hdd from drive2, so lets see what happens. I had a feeling that drive was bad from that orange light remaining on ... but never saw any error reports. Everything you said makes perfect sense.
Now to try and RMA this drive. I will let you know any updates.
Thanks again for all your help.
Btw Max8, I sent the picture in, thanks a lot.
