Yep. I reformatted the FW drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and installed MacDrive on the PC Laptop. Everything is working great so far and my internal has now over 22Gb for the System and Applications to use. Thanks for the input!

Accessing from the Laptop, I can go anywhere on the Mac pretty much. Except to the mounted volumes (iPod, FW drive, etc). This is why I'm puzzled. UPDATE: Sharepoints works like a charm. Now I have a shortcut on the Laptop's desktop to access directly to the FW drive. I mainly run Adobe...

My system still is Power PC. I've seen that many users go for the bootable external FW drive, I'm still undecided about doing it or not. Something else that is giving me troubles is sharing the new FW drive with a Dell laptop. I can connect both computers via wireless fairly easy, but for the...

This is a very interesting thread. I just got a WD My Book Home Edition and I was thinking about moving everything but the System folder to the external drive (connected via Firewire), so Tiger (10.4.11) could run free in the now spacious internal hard drive (only 40Gb). But I see it's a good...

You know? I never thought of that and I just ran a little test: 1) Connected the burner via USB to the Quicksilver. 2) Then connected the iPod (last generation with firewire data transfer support) to the burner via Firewire The computer recognizes the burner with no problem at all, I even...

It's a PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-109 inside a Prolific PL3507 Combo Device enclosure. I'm attaching a pic of the ports in the actual burner. I'm thinking about getting a Maxtor 500 Gb external or a Iomega MiniMax USB 2.0/FireWire 500GB (for this one I wouldn't need to use the burner as a bridge...

Of course, it makes total sense. Just like sharing a device in the Classic Mac OS. I need to try that next time I plug in the iPod to the PC. And speaking about connectivity, tell me if my logic is correct: I have an external DVD burner with an available USB 2.0 port and I want to connect...

I connected an iPod to a PC (disk mode) and I would like to access its contents from my Mac using my home network. I can access the SharedDocs folder in the PC with no trouble at all. I just can't figure out how to do this. Doing it from Mac to Mac is a breeze, you just connect again after you...

Hi, I tried resetting the PRAM and many other things and sadly nothing seemed to do the trick. Talking to a friend we came up with a painless (but time consuming) solution: I performed a clean install (archiving the previous system) and it worked great. I'm posting from the Quicksilver and...

My trusty Quicksilver froze on me a few minutes ago. I got the dreaded translucent-full of text restart screen, so I thought no big deal and pressed the restart button (under the power button). Well, now all I get is this: 1) Gray screen with dark gray apple 2) Gray screen with Mac OS X square...
