UPDATE.....
so when I first received and powered on the XT, I only heard the PSU fan, not the HDD. I thought it was quiet since I saw the status light.
Then today I was swapping boards around and when I turned the unit on, the HDD made an awful noise, then spun up and booted.
Not sure how noisy these are supposed to be.
It booted and I was able to get one of the programs up and running.
Now If I can only figure out how to reconfigure my XT-IDE CF card, (since I F'ed up the settings it wont boot from that anymore) I would like to copy the contents.
Can I access that after the HDD boots?
Thanks
