    After improperly ejecting drive, I get the spinning beach ball WAYYY too much

    good idea to zap the pram, no i hadn't tried that yet. Didn't help any though, still getting driven crazy by the spinning beach ball. I'm going to try and stick the external drive into my friends g5 tomorrow to see if it's the drive or the enclosure.
