Any mac drive needs to be formatted and partitioned before it can be mounted (before the drive icon will appear on the desktop).

Are the micropolis drives formatted and partitioned for the Mac? ===== ----------------- Ed Murphy [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
