[QUOTE="Dysfunction, post: 1324639, member: 51052"] Well, this is interesting. I took a FW800 drive today (hitachi g-tech) that works great. Repartitioned it using HFS+ and FAT (MS-DOS FAT) using Disk Utility. Awesome right? Well, despite the fact that a linux box, a windows box, and a Snow Leopard box will mount the FAT drive just fine... the Lion box that formatted it? Yea.. not so much. It mounts as a USB drive, connect it to FW and it just fails with. 11/11/11 2:15:45.046 PM diskarbitrationd: unable to probe /dev/disk2s3 (status code 0xFFFFFFFC). 11/11/11 2:15:45.000 PM kernel: disk2s3: I/O error. So, anyone else with Lion.. give this a try. Interestingly enough, I get the following window in disk utility. [ATTACH=FULL]16191[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
