OK, I had that wrong. The drive actually gets messed up. Some folks have done analysis and found that the directory structure and formatting is messed up. It only happens on Firewire 800 bridges but it can happen whether they are connected through Firewire 800 or 400. If you have a Firewire 400 drive without the 800 option (or before 800s came out, you are OK). If you accidentally screwed things up, update the firmware, reformat (NOT erase blocks), and then DataRescue can likely be used to recover all of your data. ------------------------------------------------------------------ John Christie "You aren't free because you CAN choose - only if you DO choose."
