[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 716219, member: 59143"] It's the brand new flat square one. I don't even recall what the spaceship one looks like. :) And forgive me for asking but, what is the "APEx" ? If that is referring to plugging the drives directly into my MBP, then yes. they both work. Both external drives are FAT 32, and the MBP will play music from them both. However, tech support seems to think that the reason it won't work is because they're both "Master Boot Record" partitions. It was suggested that I change the partition type (HFS I guess) and use GUID, referred to in [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1550?viewlocale=en_US]This article[/url] I'm currently moving the contents of one of the HD's to my MBP and will proceed with this action, and hope to heck it works.
