Hi All,

Had a funny occurrence here yesterday [Thursday-local]. On rebooting 
after swapping drawer-based HDDs, the 20GB Maxtor on post-POST display 
screen showed up as normal except for the model number [2B0....] having 
appended to it " ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ....", and showing up as having 89GB 
capacity! Naturally it wouldn't boot to IBM Boot Manager. The ATX 
machine has an MS-6154VA motherboard [MSI] with Celeron 566 and Award 
4.51G BIOS.
Reset it twice with same result, and it was only after powering off the 
UPS, and powering up again that it recovered its identity! I guess if 
I'd been a Windows luser, it would have been a case of take it back to 
the shop!

Mike
