[QUOTE="ryman3500, post: 891377, member: 116267"] I think I may have figured it out. I was looking online on a forum regarding my hard drive, which is a Western Digital 250GB passport and they said you should always use the USB cord that came with it. Which I have not on my Power Mac because I lost it and am using one from my card reader. So maybe that is why it is not Working? Seems a bit far fetched to me but what do you guys think? As for why my hard drive works on my Power Book I forgot to mention I am using a y cable because I need to use both USB ports on my Powerbook to get enough power for the drive to function. [/QUOTE]
