[QUOTE="walrusjm, post: 1257066, member: 205745"] Hi everyone, I've tried alot of googling to find the answer but nothing seems to tell me why. I have a terabyte Lacie External Harddrive. It can be read by my Imac, but when I have tried to have it plugged into another Mac, it doesn't even show up on the finder or the dsktop. Currently its Formartted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). My Imac is on Mac OS X ver 10.5.8 and has an Intel Core 2 Duo. and its model is Imac 7,1. I've tried going into the Disk Utility and I think I've tried everything in there. Even completely wiping it clean and trying to start over. Any thoughts on how it can be read by other macs? I bought this harddrive as a back up in case if my Imac poops out, but it seems like it is useless if another computer can't even read it. [/QUOTE]
