Hello guys, Just that quick question. I need to restart the PC-3000 machine, and I have a drive which I don't want to switch off. How to restart Windows, avoiding voltage drops on PC-3000 board? Cheers |

Basically you can't on a direct way, because pc3k power is supplied from the PSU. |

Sadly, I'm not sure that on a regular reset current is actually cut off of the PSU... but PC-3000 powers off the drives. Thanks |

Hi I don't have UDMA but, as far as I know, you have a setting in options menu to not power off drives on program close....PCI have it so I thinK UDMA should have it too... Rgds |

Yes, I know about do not powering the drives on program close, it's about a Windows restart... but as I checked, it powers them off. |

Next time you could prepare an external source power supply and control it manually though i'm not sure if the drive you are working with will remain correctly powered during a reboot when it is logically disconnected. That would depend on the drive model. |

You can try connecting your pc3k power to an external PSU and try to restart to check what happens. |

There is no way to do it unless you use an external power source. I know that you can restart PC3000 without cutting of power by closing PC3000 force-closing the task from task manager. It will keep drives powered on. |
