Running a dual G5, with 10.4.10
My problem is that my SanDisk Cruzier Titanium 512 now is unrecognized when inserted after working for 3 years and a few months after upgrading to 10.4.10 (read from another post here, that "the 10.4.10 has been known to kill external USB harddrives").
The cruzier is formatted MS-Dos FAT32, windows sees it as well as an older G4, 10.3.9 machine.
I recently loaded the Maxtor 1TB external firewire drive, then had problems:
First, I noticed that the icon changed when I inserted the cruzier titanium: instead of a usb white icon, it now appears the same as an external drive icon. Then it stopped working altogether. I'd restart, with it in, then it would work, now nothing, even without the external drive powered on. Says it is unrecognizable and to initialize.
Disk Utilities recognizes it, but wont mount the sub disk, says an error, need to be reformatted. Before the 1TB drive, I installed an internal hitachi 500 GB drive but everything seemed ok.
I'm just curious as to all this.
