Hi,


I have a macally phr-100ac enclosure with a maxtor 130g-ish drive. Its both a USB and firewire, however, i've been using it with the USB connection.
One issue i've always had with the drive is when the computer goes to sleep/needs a restart without a complete shutdown, the drive doesnt' mount again in OS X.(THis happens on both my powerbook and another ibook i've tried. However, the drive will mount again when connected to a windows machine and then return to normal.


As of last week, the drive now causes os x to lockup during or right after the drives are mounted(requiring a hard restart). I repeated this twice after reconnecting it to a windows computer. I haven't yet tried it with the other mac yet.
 
Is there anyway to delete the files that os x has in the past written to the drive? I think it has to be something stemming from files the os has written in the past. The HD continues to run flawlessly on any windows machine.
