[QUOTE="mknabster, post: 685073, member: 31565"] This exact thing happened to me too, except it was with brand new drives. I went through 3 drives with my MBP with the same exact message. I brought it to the Apple store and showed them what was going on, and they said that my Mac's firewire port fried the external's port, and it killed the drive altogether, i went through 3 drives with it doing the same thing. They said MBPs have a reputation for overloading both firewire and USB ports of other external drives. Can your PC recognize it at all? [/QUOTE]
