A drive prob's When I boot up or shut down my a drive starts to rock and roll - I have resorted to putting a floppy disk into the drive (its just lighted up - ? as I type?) I'm running NAV 2003 nero5 in-cd and my psion connection - they appear at the bottom right - (next to my system clock) on may desktop.
It's a bit of a vague request - any help recieved.

You are talking about a floppy drive - right?
If the drive works, suggests fault on drive. Try borrowing another drive to see if that performs the same.
If drive does not work, suggests connector on the interface cable is connected the wrong way around. Just reverse one end to prove - no harm done. The red stripe on the cable should be for pin 1.
