[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1899662, member: 83420"] May I just conclude this post by suggesting that every time you purchase a new External Hard Drive (EHD), that you carry out the Erase/Reformat action that Jake detailed before you use the EHD. No matter whether the accompanying blurb says the EHD is "Mac Compatible", I always do this. That way, you know the EHD is good to go; you also wipe out most, if not all, so-called pre-set security settings; AND it is a test that the EHD is actually working. A few do not work "out of the box". Ian [/QUOTE]
