Hi there...
I bought a last-minute 80GB Western Digital Passport external USB hard drive to take on a trip to India to supplement my hard drive space on my G4 Powerbook.. . . Said on the box it was good for Mac and Windows.
The drive does not mount onto my computer, but it does mount onto my wife's MacBook Pro. Something to do with the intel system I'm sure...
So I used the Disk Utility software to re-format my external.
I opened Disk Utility, Selected the 'Erase' tab, and from the drop-down menu selected Mac OS Extended (Journaled) ...
I figured this would do the job.. but alas, the drive still will not mount onto my G4 Powerbook...
Does anyone know a way I can reformat this External with the MacBook Pro to work on the G4 Powerbook ?
thanks
