[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1182124, member: 190607"] HFS+ and Mac OS Extended (Journaled) are the same thing. You have your drive properly formatted. There are about 20 reviews of the drive that you have on the Amazon site: [url=http://is.gd/k3Har]Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: G-Technology G-DRIVE Q 1TB External Hard Drive w/ eSATA, USB 2.0, Firewire 400, Firewire 800 Interfaces 0G00199[/url] The reviews are fascinating. They are about equally split between users who loved the drive, and users who hated it. Apparently there was a widespread problem with controller boards that may or may not have been remedied at some point. How old is your drive? How full is it? Is it still under warranty? You might want to run some routine maintenance on your drive to see if it helps. If it doesn't, I'd recommend contacting the manufacturer and soliciting their advice. ___________________________________________ Randy B.
