[QUOTE="vader33, post: 861707, member: 106108"] The external is windows based, FAT32. We have 10.4.11 on both Macs. The only thing I can think of is the Powerbook is USB 1.0 and the hard drive is USB 2.0. But I don't think that makes a difference. We'll try cleaning out the lens on the disc drive, but the computer's 7 years old, so it might have just bit the dust. [/QUOTE]
