[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1641551, member: 131855"] Which specific G-Drive is this? Can I assume that it is connected via USB? If so check the data cable connections and make sure they are secure. If it uses a cable with two connections to the computer make sure both are connected. If you have another cable try it. That might be difficult though if it is a a special cable Some of their drives seem to be a bit picky about which USB ports are use on a Mac. See [URL="http://support.g-technology.com/kbase/users/kb.php?id=54"]these troubleshooting steps[/URL] for suggestions. Which specific Mac are you using? Some do not seem to put out enough power for bus powered drives to function properly. When the drive mounts does it stay connected long enough for you to verify the Disk ub Disk Utility? It sure sounds to me like the drive is not getting sufficient power consistently. This is a known problem with some bus powered drives when used with Macs. [/QUOTE]
Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
