- : There was a Hardwear hack to fix this, something about cutting an interface lead
- : to the Connor, but being the coward I am, I left the leads well alone.
-
- My Seagte had to spin up not only after a coldboot, but also after every
- warmboot. To fix this, just cut the reset-line of the ide-cable and the
- drive will never know that you did a warm-boot.
-
- In case you don't know, the reset-line is line number 1 (The red one)
-
- Works fine for over a year now. A warm boot takes only 2 seconds before
- the drive starts booting.
