I don’t know if this is an indication of anything. One thing I do notice about the new drive, is that it’s icon shows up differently than my other external USB drives when I see it on my Macbook Pro desktop. I have another WD 2TB drive plugged into the Mac Pro and it recognizes it fine. It doesn’t show up in Disk Utility, it doesn’t show up in System Profiler. The Power Mac will not recognize the drive. Yesterday I purchased another 2TB drive, formatted it on my Macbook Pro (which is running OS 10.6.8) transferred some files onto it, unmounted it - ejected it from desktop then plugged it into a USB port on my Power Mac (also running OS 10.6.8). ![]() Before now it was as simple as purchasing a new drive, reformatting it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and plugging it in. I have been using Western Digital 2TB MyBook Essential external drives for archiving for quite some time now.
