View state of hard drive never updates.

Hi all,

I've been a mac user for a long time but I can't figure out this simple issue. I have a 250gb external Lacie Hard Drive. I was for a while using it with my iMac G5. It is now hooked up to my Dual2.0 G5 and if I eject it from the desktop or restart my computer it reverts to the last view state from when it was hooked up to the iMac (list view with a bunch of windows open making for about 300 files open in the window.) Why won't the hard drive remember the last view arrangement? Spotlight has indexed it so what am I missing?

Thanks,
 
To change the window prefs, plug in the drive, make the changes, and eject the drive. In that order, nothing else inbetween. Next time you plug it in, it should remember what you set it to.
