the Passport does not get recognized by the G4 PowerBook at all when plugged in to either of the USB ports.

Explain please "does not get recognized". Exactly what happens or doesn't happen.

It is not recognized at all in any utility program or in any way. It is like it does not exist at all. I will take your advice and try to connect it through a powered USB hub and see if it shows up that way. I just want to reformat it and use it as my TimeMachine backup drive and storage of movie files to share between several different computers, so each computer does not need to have a local copy of every movie file I have.
