[QUOTE="chscag, post: 694274, member: 46727"] Does your Toshiba also have an AC to DC adaptor plug for power? Or are you just directly plugging into your G4 USB port? A drive that large more than likely will not directly work from the USB port since it probably uses more power than what is available from the port. I've had the same thing happen several times with drives and other USB devices that drew too much power from the USB port. Using an AC adaptor cures the problem. Regards. [/QUOTE]
