I remember seeing that so it did.  I generally notice when it does that
but I don't give it much thought.  I think it is one of those things
that if I didn't see it there, I'd know something wasn't right and I'd
notice it and check into it. 

I reseated the cables but it's still taking a long time to do anything. 
Given my drive led is on, it's doing something.  I'm just not sure how
fast it is doing it.  o_O
