Thanks,

Well for starters, right now the drive is connected to my second box, its set to Master via jumper and is a single drive on the IDE bus.
I did manage to make a dump file of the drive's FLASH.

No other hardware changes happened in that system. Currently its running all stock.
Its a 1400MHz Athlon on a ASUS A7V266-E board (VIA KT266A chipset). Everything is running stock settings, BIOS was just reset (board resets to default when power goes out).

Its funny how it can boot from the drive, but can't read its contents properly.
