[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 892931, member: 8287"] Sure agree 100% with that. Never leave a failing hard drive connected. Unplug that DEATHStar! :D Just a heads up for other Quicksilver owners. It's a known fact that the Quicksilver 2002 has the newer IDE controller without the 128GB Limit. There is a rumor that even the 733 Quicksilver has that newer controller. I was recently given a 733 Quicksilver in Pristine shape. So last night I tried a 160GB drive and Vola, it's all there. So I guess that rumor is true. The same drive on a G4 DA shows 128GB. [/QUOTE]
