I have seen a few threads about on the internet relating to this but no permanent solution.
I recently bought an iomega 500gb MiniMax drive for use with my MacBook, it was working fine and showing in finder for a day or so and then stopped automatically showing up in finder unless I tweak about with it through the following method (HD is called FatBoy):
then I have to reset finder using an apple script:
Even then it won't stay there permanently... I am wondering if the @ symbol below is important as it doesn't show yup for other correctly behaving external hard disks...?
Thanks in advance
