Emax

issue with internal cable check that none of the strands has broken loose 
common fault caused by people pulling on the cable rather than useing a 
proper tool

just take off old idc connectors and reseat with a idc crimp tool this will 
make new connection to the ribbon cable as they cut in the cable making a 
connection

or if you have a spare scsi cable try that

also is your drive got the updated firmware as some would only read and not 
write which could also be the problem
