disk utility
Greetings!
I am in process of upgrading my operating systems. I backed up my important files to an external drive yesterday. I used a WD passport for Mac drive. It went successfully and I ejected that drive from my computer then before continuing on with my upgrades. APPLE sent me a copy of Snow Leopard and I was able to download that successfully this afternoon. After doing a software update I went into DISK UTILTY to do a repair disk permissions on my Mac HD. I was advised to do this after software updates.
Anyway, within that window of DISK UTILTY on the left where it lists the various "DRIVES" on your computer, beside the Macintosh HD and OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5, I now noticed that it also list a 320.07 GB WDC WD 320 Drive....... and this is probably a dumb question. Is this normal to show up even though it is not attached to my computer via USB at the moment? Is this just because I did hook it up so it is "ready" for the next time, so to speak?
