Shuttle SN45G + Firewire Boot Problems

[rory1984]

Hi All,

I've got myself a Shuttle SN45G and a Lacie d2 external firewire hard drive connected to it via the powered firewire ports at the rear of the shuttle.

When I boot the machine from cold, if i have the lacie connected then it causes the boot process to hang. Does anyone else have problems with this? Or is it just me?

The only way I can get the shuttle to boot correctly is to remove the firewire drive and then reconnect it once in windows. This is clearly a pain, and shouldn't be a problem theoretically - but for some reason is.

Any ideas?

Cheers.

Rory

If you have not already done so, after succesfully booting connect the Lacie and run checkdisk for the approriate drive letters on the external drive eg. START RUN type "chkdsk d:". This may clear any problems associated with a failure to save data to the Lacie during power down etc.

Good Luck
