[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1113142, member: 38864"] I'm a bit confused here and may be misunderstanding what you meant. You are saying your Macs will enter TDM, but "separately"? You only boot the PowerBook into TDM, not both. Plug in the Firewire cable first with both fully booted normally. Then reboot ONLY the PowerBook in TDM. When done, it will mount on the iMac as an external drive. If that is how you are doing it, then the problem "could" be a bad cable or adapter for converting the FW400 to FW800. You could try a new cable. Besides that or some hardware problem, I don't see what else it could be. Of course… I do have one more trick up my sleeve. The instructions below "should" work for Leopard also.
