presets that are supposed to be on the drive..has anyone else had 
this problem..thanks

In my experience the message "SCSI Media Error" is an almost guranteed sign that the 
drive is dead or dying.

Exactly who did you get it from? E-mu hasn't supplied hard drives for the Emax II in 
years. They discontinued their support of the Emax II sound library about 4 years ago. Is 
it an internal or external drive? Lastly, is there a chance the drive was damaged in 
transport?

Well, that would be a first for me. E-mu inlcluded a 40Mb, then a 105/127 Mb internal 
hard drive in their turbo units. The drives were Quantum if I remember right. I've never 
heard of E-mu putting their name on a hard drive nor have I heard of them inlcuding a 
preset data sheet with the units. Either way the drive would have to be at least 5 years 
old as the Emax II was pulled out of production around then.
