Hey all, am just copying over some last minute material to my lil
Mac / tidying up an external HD before I go, and I have a couple of
questions...
I usually use icon mode for everything I do in the finder, however,
I have a 250 gb 7200 rpm USB HD which was formated for windows, (fat
32) and for a few operations, it becomes simply so sluggish / lagged
that it's unusable.
If I log into it from my desktop, it's fine, but when I go to
certain rather large folders, it causes finder to be busy and
basically never to stop being busy.
I've needed to force quit / restart finder to get it to stop...
This has also happened when I've tried to del files from it as
well... And the files haven't been removed. I ended up needing to
log into it from my Windows lappy and delete material like that.
ick!... <smile>
anyway, I can copy from it just fine, which is fortunate, and this
behavior only seems to happen in icon mode.
If I switch to list or column mode, it's fine, and the response time
is quite good. I can del or copy equally well, and there is no lag
time.
Might someone clue me in on what may be happening?... Thanks so much,
y'all! ROCK!!!
have a great day!... -And see ya soon from the road!... :)
Smiles,
Cara :)
