However, the second Seagate appears to be OK, and I used it for my wife's computer last weekend to install 11.2. All went well, and she now has 11.2.
*But*, it takes forever for 11.2 to boot on her machine :-( . And after it does, the "HD in use" light remains ON.
Cabling and Bios Settings is my bet. It could also be that the disk drivers are not getting properly loaded the firs time you boot up in the morning due to the drives not being ready immediately, which again sounds like cabling and bios settings.
There may also be some jumpers on the drive, although you didn't mention what cable interface these drives use. [pruned]
John, see my response just posted to Felix on this topic (at least about oS 11.2/ the Seagate HDs; the XP/external HD is yet to be tested and resolved).
