[QUOTE="satrop, post: 721645"] Seriously now! Arrrrgh! Has any one got any other ideas?? Because I spent, not a lot of money on getting this thing sorted but enough for me to WANT to make this work. I tried this. Whilst the drive was connected via USB, I partitioned the 750GB HD in three equal parts. I did this because I thought maybe the drive wasn't being seen because it was to big... I turn of the Pro. Re-connect the external HDD with the eSATA connection, power on the drive, power on the Pro. Open up "Disk Util" and...the 750GB drive is now only seen as 232GB (the first partition) the rest of the drive???? I don't know. SO I try and verify the disk. OK! Spinning beach ball... ticking/ worring from the drive... something is happening? Then I get this error... Disk Utility stopped verifying “Untitled 2” because the following error was encountered: Filesystem verify or repair failed. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT?? WHAT IS THIS?? HOW DO I FIX?? I'm so mad, I could cry! So to help "Steve" stop crying, please post some help, we have enough rain here in England and we don't need any more water. LOL. But really I would love to know WTH is going on. Thanks all! [/QUOTE]
