I recently had a partitioned IBM Deskstar 120GB drive on a DP450 G4 lose the partition with the operating system on it. I reinstalled OS X on another drive that was in the system and then could see all of the partitions except the one with the original operating system. Concluding the drive was bad, I decided it was time to install backup protection. I added a Tempo ATA 133 card and a WD 120 GB drive with 2 MB buffer. I then proceeded to try to copy all of my QT video files from the problem Drive to the new backup drive. All went well until I tried to copy files that were greater than 2 GB. Copying starts and then as it gets to 2 GB I get an error message that says Error -50. When I installed the new drive, all I did was initialize it. I can copy the files from the problem drive over firewire to an external drive with no problem but cannot copy them to this internal drive. I am suspecting there is something about the drive or its file structure but do not know. I did update the Tempo ATA 133 card to the latest firmware at the recommendation of their service tech but still no difference. Any ideas on what the problem is would be appreciated.
Thanks,
