[QUOTE="slyseeker, post: 241373, member: 18122"] I've been exploring upgrading my Powerbook to a 120gig HDD and using the original 80gig HDD as extra storage - or even vice versa. My notebook seems to be having trouble driving my firewire or usb HDD-cases. My mom's Mac-mini (g4) and Macbook have had no problem mounting and driving both external cases; in fact, I used the mac-mini to facilitate the HDD upgrade with the Powerbook in Firewire Target Mode. Does anyone have any clue as to why the Powerbook isn't able to drive the HDD cases? Any suggestions as to a solution? Thanks! Jeff [/QUOTE]
