Just got a brand new macbook pro. Snow Leopard. The attached back-up drive, a WD 1.5T, mounts but when I click the drive icon, a message comes up that it is an alias, with options: delete, cancel or find original. When attempting to link back to the drive, it is visible but grayed out.
I can however mount it on an older mac book running 10.5. It mounts fast and I can see and access all the files. The WD disk ap says both drives within are ok.
It is definitely a Snow Leopard issue.
I checked the permissions and all are 'read and write'.
I logged in as root as described in an earlier post... with no luck.
Tried both usb and firewire.
Today I am taking both computers and the drive to the mac store... and yes, I did back up the back up.
Any suggestions are welcome regarding my mystery.
