[QUOTE="flashman2708, post: 723831, member: 67138"] I have a weird problem with one particular drive. I double click to open it and all the icons disappear from the desktop briefly and then reappear but the drive remains closed. I try and access it from a network - same thing. Disk utilities and disk warrior report no problem, but when I try and preview the drive in DW and same thing. So I try and clone the file I want to another drive. As soon as I do this the other drive displays the same problem! Same disc different Mac, same problem. So I take the drive out and stick it in a PC with macdrive. It opens no problem. Now...get this... I try and look at the drive from another Mac across the network while it's in the PC, and everything disappears and reappears again without opening the drive! I hardly dare utter the word.....but is this a virus? I tried scanning the drive with Antivirus but it crashed the programme! The drives are HFS extended, one is originally from a G5 with 10.4 system on it and the other is from an Intel Macpro with 10.5 system files on. When this happened it was on a Macpro running 10.4.11 [/QUOTE]
