Hi,
My 1200 had a toshiba 500mb drive which has always been a bit noisy, but finally gave up completely.
I've obtained a "Hitachi Travelstar" 60gb drive to put in its plave - a lot more compact, quieter etc...
...but I've noticed something odd. The hard disk light is illuminated all the time. Its not quite full brightness, as it flickers brighter when theres disk activity, but always stays on. Checked for cable shorts etc - and it never did this with the old drive.
I've checked and by default its set to master, so shouldn't be checking for a slave drive or anything. Using standard 1200 on board controller and cable.
Anybody any idea if this is a problem? Any way to correct this? Drive seems to be working fine otherwise.
