I wasn't sure where to put this question, so I am sorry if it needs to be somewhere else. I have a WD passport USB external hardrive hooked to a computer at work that uses Windows 2000. In the past I have been able to just hook it to my Imac it shows up and I am on my way. Recently I can't get it to show up. It also will not show up on a computer that uses windows XP. Any ideas what may have happened and how I can make it show up on my Imac? It still works on Windows 2000.
Thanks,
Ed
That has nothing to do with your connection problem, I would recommend trying a different cable first.
In the past when you disconnect it from both your Windows box and iMac how are you disconnecting it. In other words do you dismount the drive prior to physically disconnecting?
Yes, I do dismount the drive before unplugging. It is weird becasue I can see it on a Windows 2000 computer but not MacOSX(has worked in past) or windows XP.
Also I do see the light on front when it is plugged in to all three computers.
Disregard all. The cable I was using must not be able to pull the load. It can transfer files off a camera but not connect the Harddrive. Thanks Roger.
