If the drive were bad it would not be usable with USB and FW. I would suspect either a bad cable or a bad/loose cable connection to the either the drive or the eSATA port. Are you using an internal SATA cable or eSATA? Did you reboot the machine after attaching the drive? -irrational john -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
