I cannot get my new G4 power book to recognize my Maxtor 300 gig external drive (DiamondMax Plus 10). Could the firewire interface in the external case be the culprit?
Thanks,

Tiger only sees the 128, and the Disk Utility will not let me go beyond that. I was able to get the drive to format to it's maximum using USB on a Dell. Perhaps I should reformat it to that capacity and then check what the G4 can do.
