I'm having some issues with my SanMax removable IDE hard drives and am wondering if anyone in the forum can recommend another appropriate forum for information or support?
As far as the problem itself I have 2 internal fixed drives and 4 of these removable chassis in a tower (PCI Adaptec IDE controller), and a collection of 7 or 8 drives that I exchange as needed. Am having trouble determining where the problem is - drive, drive chassis, cable, or controller. One drive of the four always seems to be unavailable and reporting problems like "The drive cannot be accessed because another process has a lock on the file" or some such message (I'm not in front of the server now) - again, not looking to start a discussion on this here, but looking for a comparable support forum. Although, if you'd like to privately email me with suggestions, feel free to :)
thanks,
David
