Hi Alan,

Should this apply here too? There are two separate cables, and I've 
never seen the other drive to fail after the first drive has failed. 
I've now ripped ~50 CDs with the still working drive, while this drive 
failed during the first 5 CDs on my two previous boots.

I don't doubt that the revalidation goes bad, but I can't see hardware 
being the cause of it as it hits any drive, but so-far only one drive pr 
boot.
