I'm using an Atola Insight and trying to image the drive. When I begin the drive spins up fine and identifies. after about 5 minutes of imaging it quits and then it fails to re-identify. Any ideas?

Here is an update. After connecting to the terminal THis is all I get:

Interface task reset
4096k x 16 SDRAM
TONKA2 - 1_Disk M-31 03-22-06 10:53

Buzz - Head Mask FFFF - Switch to full int.
Spin Ready
(P)PATA Reset
DiskAccess ReadSector EC=43 at ffffffff.00.0002
Master


I know that usually Head Mask FFFF means head problems but I just want to make sure. It hangs at Master...

Thanks in advance

You have a firmware problem then.

Insight Diagnostics show it is the firmware. All the tests complete successfully until the firmware test.

That is when it IDs. After it runs for about 5 min it doesn't ID again until it sits for about 30 min.
