Ok, so I get a new ext hard drive and it wont pop up on my desktop. It's a toshiba USB 2.0 Portable Ext hard drive (320 G). It has a blue power light that comes on when I plug it into my g4 powerbook, but other than that, i can find no recognition of it on my computer. I bought a different brand the other day prior to this one, and it was the same result--I thought it was the brand until this. Any ideas? Where can I check "visibility" (right term?) settings?
also of note-- I have a printer that plugs into USB and it works fine, also have an iphone that works fine w/ the comp, and another external drive (independantly powered) that works. IS it possible that I would need to erase the software for the other drive? doesnt seem likely, but Im at a loss. Thanks for reading and for any help given!
