[QUOTE="arkinsphoto, post: 1143952, member: 55373"] Thanks Chscag, I reackon it could be a power thing regarding the wd usb cable. I looked around and found an apple usb extention cable and connected the HDD to the mac through that, (and it's worked!!!) The usb connection port on the hard-drive is different to the usual connections (it's rounded at the corners, never seen that before) so my other cables dont fit. Can only assume the extention cable has helped transfer more juice from the computer to power the hard-drive. It's an ubly sight though so gonna need to find a better solution. Cheers for the advice!
