To Anyone who can help,
I am having problems with external hard drives. List of equipment first, MacbookPro 15", Leopard, bootcamp (Windows XP), hard drives; Memorex Travel Drive 1 and 2GB, FireLite Smartdisk 60 and 80GB(USB powered), WD Series 2 USB 2.0 120GB, and lastly LaCie d2 Quad 2 500GB. THE PROBLEM..... I have no problem syncing my USB power devices like thumb drives and the FireLite. When I use the 120 or 500gb they will not mount at all. The 120 worked one time to use Time Machine but that was it. I have checked power output at the wall and all are within specs to run the hard drives. What could the problem be, why would only USB powered drives work?
Thanks for your time,
