The drive is really fast and everything about it is great except if a (most) program crashes. The machine would not boot from the drive. I boot from a floppy, run Silverlining and then Disk First Aid, as described in the article about 2 days ago (sorry I lost the article), and everything would be just fine. On calling LaCie, they said that they cannot reproduce the problem but they are working on a fix ! Sounds contradicting to me how can they fix the problem if they cannot reproduce it ? They also said that the most recent version of Silverlining (4.06 or 4.07) might fix the problem but they have no proof. Mean while I try new programs with the HD unmounted. Does anybody out there know if this problem is fixable ? Or am I going to have to live with it. Is LaCie on the net ? Amr F. Fahmy, Dept. of Computer Science, Duke University Durham, NC 27706-2591.
