I tried this, as well as turning on the firewire disc well after bootup.....still the same. I'll try the "shift" suggestion next - what items are disabled if I boot Tiger with the "shift" held down? Will it disable my Kensington Turboball? (this is the only third-party thing I have loaded - could THIS be my problem all along, or is it likely to be a LaCie firmware-bridge thing?) Thanks Drew and Richard for your help....I'll also see what I can find on this topic by googling....
