- I use shape shifter also. my guess is that the max transfer settings on
- your internal drive need to be changed try (0x1fe00) assuming this is
- where you store the ShapeShifter program and Rom. The problem arises
- when shapeshifter tries to load the rom the hard drive goofs up. this
- happened me with a maxtor 7420AV hdd. Unfortunatly even the max transfer
- did not work on this drive replacing it with a seagate device cured the
- problem. Hope this helps you. ;-)
