On and off, on and off, on and off

[bbb5250b]

I have an internal hard drive (10,000 rpm server dirve off adaptec 2930) in my Mac G4 that is now constantly turning itself on and off whenever I seek data stored on it. How can I make it stop? I'd rather let it run for 8 hours than rest it. Now I can not even remove data from it without it turning itself off. Any hints?

Check your hard disk power settings. You can also double check your hard disk's connections to the motherboard.
