[QUOTE="Arthur7258, post: 1098700, member: 165820"] I'm a newbie to the Mac world, so, I feel your pain! On almost all computers, regardless of the platform, an external drive should always be plugged directly into the computers usb slots. This would seem to not be necessary since the items supply their own external power in most cases. Printers, mice, keyboards, speakers, etc. can almost always be plugged in to the usb hub. The problem now is how to restore the drive as a recognized Volume in the Mac OS after it has been removed. Unfortunately, as a newbie, I don't have that answer. I'm simply trying to clarify what you're saying to the great Mac geniuses here on the Mac Forums. And, believe me, they can be geniuses. They have helped me more than once in this two month world of learning to work with a Mac. Arthur [/QUOTE]
