Checked everything you have said. I've spent more than two days trying to
get that drive work. But there is still the possibility that the quantum
drive was already damaged before i installed it. Do you think that a small
amount of static electricity can seriously damage a drive? Well i guess it
is too late now... My quantum has been dismantled and its plates used as
mirrors... Rest in peace <devilish grin>.
