Sorry about that, I have a G4 gigabit with a 1gz sonnet processor with 2 gig of ram running OS 10.5.8, This was running fine until I used CCC to backup to the WD external drive. I have contacted WD and they are sending a new drive. I have a Firewire 800 card as well as a USB 2 card. Anything else needed for information?
