[QUOTE="iknowjack, post: 185425, member: 15533"] Hello Forum members/Non Members I'm just wondering whether their is some kind of fix or patch available for this issue? or maybe i'm doing something wrong? and some of the more experienced members of the Mac community could offer some help or suggestions. (Thank you) Well anyway, basically as I've written in the title of this post really, my external USB 2.0 Hard Drive isn't being mounted on my desktop when plugged into my iBook. Additionally, I fail to see any recognizable sign of it whatsoever on my Mac desktop. I have formatted the 40gb external drive on my windows 2000 box using Fat32 but still no luck with iBook recognizing it. I have also tried plugging the drive into the iBook having deleted the whole drive partition in windows (unformatted disc) but still no luck. Hope someone can help as i'd really like to be able to use my external drive for backup and storage purposes because my 30gb drive on iBook is almost full! Please help... Thanks [/QUOTE]
