A1200: new hard drive worked great, then didn't.

Did you format the drives with quick format. Just that I had the same thing till I was advised only ever to Quick Format. If you do full format then you will get the old wrap around and keep losing the drives. Guess you may already have known that, but worth mentioning.

PS I keep the total drives to just a smidge under 4GB. I had replaced six drives to 1200s before I discovered the issue and had to reformat all the drives. Works a charm.

I only ever use Seagate Momentus 5400.2 40 GB,5400 RPM,2.5" IDE Internal Hard Disk Drives.
