[QUOTE="crzymke, post: 1029913, member: 149903"] I tried using target disk mode, but for some reason the HDD seemed to be less responsive. I plugged it into my iMac, and it does mount there, but strangely I can't navigate the file system there at all. Finder beach balls endlessly. I end up relaunching finder from the Force Quit menu, and it actually doesn't relaunch. I end up having to restart. I have no idea why it acts so differently - I would think its mounting the same either way. I've been stuck with the external over firewire. [/QUOTE]
