1. Cabling – Often times, the cabling is not firmly
connected. We recommend that you remove
the drive from the cable, the cable from the DJ,
reassemble and try again.
2. Master – Make sure that both drives connected to
the Disk Jockey have been jumpered to “master”
and not to “slave” or “master with slave present.”
On very rare occasions we have seen success with
the drives set to cable select. See the FAQ on the
Diskology web page http://www.diskology.com/
djfaqs.html that discusses cables select for more
information.
3. Drive size – this is a VERY common problem with
the Disk Jockey; people try to copy one drive to a
drive of the same exact size. Now, this often works
without ANY problems (we actually copy like pairs
in our lab, 2x40 GB, 2x60 GB, 2x120 GB, etc.) but
with that said, we typically hear from customers
that two drives of the same size will not work.
Upon further investigation we have discovered that
on occasion different drive manufacturers format
a similar sized drive out to a different number
of total sectors, for example, a WD 40 GB drive
might format out to 46,000 sectors and a Maxtor
40 GB might format out to 45,996 total sectors.
If you try to copy the WD to the Maxtor the Disk
Jockey will issue an audible beep because there
are not enough total sectors to copy to. This can
also be said with regard to same sized drives from
the same manufacturer if they are different model
