Is it a fully enclosed external drive, or is it a drive you bought yourself plus an enclosure? I think you might have to set the jumper setting to "slave." I'm pretty sure that external drives are configured to do that by default, but standard internal drives have the "master" setting by default. Do you know how to change the jumper setting? I just want to ask before I get into a lengthy explanation. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
