[QUOTE="Justin, post: 387192, member: 25120"] The size shouldn't matter for it to appear on the window should it? On "copy" menu I get this: Macintosh HD HD 1 HD 2 Disk Image ... On "to" menu I get this: Macintosh HD HD 1 HD 2 HD 3 Disk Image ... HD 1 and 2 are two partitions on one external drive, mac formatted. Disk Image... is just an program on my desktop. HD 3 is another external drive, formatted MS-DOS file system (FAT32). It will not allow me to copy to HD 3. It says "HD-HU2 is formatted as Windows_FAT_32, which cannot properly host HFS+ files along with all their attributes, resources and ownership." That seems pretty silly to me. But far worse is that HD 3 does not even appear in the "copy" menu! Why should I not be able to back up a drive formatted in FAT32? I need to have a drive in a format PCs can read. Is there no way on mac to back up such a drive? (I have posted this also as a new post with a new subject heading, here: [url]http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?p=387189#post387189[/url] ) And, any ideas what I should do about the error which occurred while backing up my internal drive, as mentioned in the first post? Thank you! Justin [/QUOTE]
