i'm severly confused right now.
i bought a maxtor onetouch III USB2.0. I plugged it into my ibook g4 (os x 10.3.9) and it recognized it but i couldn't open it. so i went online and found drivers from the manufacturer. installed them and nothing happened. when i plugged it in again it failed to be found.
i took it to my mac guru (i've only been a mac user since december) and he plugged it into his ibook g4 (os x 10.4.?) and it found it. he couldn't write on it however, so he reformatted it, and i believe it worked with his computer. it was still never found on mine when i plugged it in.
recently, i upgraded to 10.4 and it still won't be found. i plugged it in and left it while i looked for answers and it made me restart, i believe that's called a kernal error. ???. i was thinking maybe i could delete or uninstall the drivers, but i have no idea how.
terribly frustrating, any help would be greatly appreciated.
