disappearing hard drive in lc the internal hd in my lc disappeared for a day last week and i d like to hear any reasonable theories folks can suggest for what happened it is an lc with mb of ram and an mb internal drive running system with a few scsi devices in a so far as i know properly terminated chain i had shut down the system for a day i was out of town and we sometimes have thunderstorms this time of year and upon restarting got a blinking question mark i booted from a floppy and saw that my external hd seemed okay but there was no sign of the internal i installed a system folder on the external and was indeed able to boot from it i tried things like disk first aid and silverlining to inquire about the internal drive they either could not find it or got errors in trying to talk to it silverlining claimed it was a connor drive but it is a quantum well i d backed things up so i was able to work but at some point i noticed that the internal had reappeared now disk first aid says that all s well etc things seem to be fine but what happened was this a warning that something the internal hd or something else is about to die i m definitely nervous and if this is a signal that the internal hd is sick is it true that i can only put up to a mb drive inside an lc some folks have claimed there s a limitation in the lc other n size or power while others and that includes lacie over the phone say anything that fits is okay thanks for answers
