[QUOTE="Iankv, post: 1287719, member: 209049"] Yep! Brand new 21.5". The drive is a 2Tb Western Digital item so its not a cheap item and it never gave any problems when attached to the PC. I tend to shut the IMac down at night but it is left on standby in sleep mode during the day. Hopefully tomorrow it will carry on doing the right thing. It's weird because on the port I originally had it plugged into, the iMac would immediately recognise the drive when it was plugged in. But, when I booted the IMac it would kick the WD drive into life but not recognise it. And if I unplugged and re-plugged the drive, then the iMac would 'see' it again. We'll see what happens tomorrow. Rgds Ian [/QUOTE]
