    I just jumped into this thread.  But what you say hear makes me think that the 
    drives are not compatible.  While rarer these days, I recall the days when 
    certain drives just would not function together regardless of what you did.
    
    Perhaps the older 4G drive just will not work with the new drive?  It seems to 
    be possible.
    
    Will the 80G drive function alone?
    
    What are the makes?  Sorry if you already answered this.  I just caught the 
    thread at this point.
