![]() Refuse to pay for anything that I consider to be intrisically necessary to use of product. Wondering if Snow Leopard/Disk Utility has any improvements on this score. After it uninstalls, reboot the computer and plug the external hard drive and check. Acomdata external hard drive driver - system profiler only recognized the drive as a usb device if i put pressure on the connector into the drive a certain way. Takes a great deal of time and some things need fixing after completion. The computer still wont recognize the hard drive. I have not figured out how to get Leopard restored short of format, then complete (re)install with Time Machine restore kicking in at the end of that process. BKF but think it requires an OS - unlike Vista + Windows 7 where the install Disk will retore from External in ~30 minutes. BKF string of the hard drive, runs maybe a little slower than Vista & Windows 7 Backup/Restore Maint. Also available from Microsoft if no install CD. On Windows side, is Vista, W7 (32 &64Bit) and recently my daughter's HP Laptop XP which posed a problem until I found that NtBackup.Msi was in VALUEADD folder on the Windows XP install CD. Setup on my Acomdata 7200rpm External is Mac 150GB HFS, Windows 150GB NTFS. ![]() If you're going to use the drive on both platforms, does it need to be set up first on the PC, allocating 1/2? to Windows NTFS format, then disable/reset/delete Time Machine backups doing the Mac HFS format thing on remainder of External?
