[QUOTE="starshinelove, post: 1223521, member: 199242"] If I reformat to Fat-32...how do I do this?...& will I lose all my data that is already on the hard drive? When I bought the Mac & did it's first update, and noticed it did say 10.6.7...but that may have been after the update. I spoke to Apple many, many times...going through all kinds of configurations that the 'top' tech guys walked me through...no success...Called Verbatim too. Was told to replace all Verbatim cords, which I did. & Apple said that I have to get all of my data on the Verbatim, and start from scratch... But, I can't locate the Verbatim on the computer anywhere. Although, Being a PC girl for so long, Mac is a whole new world...so I'm learning as I go... I did look in all of the places that the HD could possibly be hiding...but, maybe I missed something...unknown... Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated!!! I run a business, and there is a lot of important goods on that HD, as well as the Mac...Scary stuff!!! Thanx* Shannon [/QUOTE]
