Here's his email:<br><br>[color:blue]I have a compact Storix hard drive. I plugged it into the usb port of my Imac and it detected the drive and I did my backup. <br><br>I tried to do the same thing on my Pb and nothing shows up on the desktop. I ran Apple system profiler and it does show the storix drive on the USB tab. However I can’t see it to do anything.<br><br>Any suggestions? The disk that came with it says that no special drivers are needed for OS X</font color=blue><br><br>Any clues as to what might be going on here?<br><br>

It's a new PB, so it has USB 2 ports, I think. The iMac has USB 1 ports, though. I thought it might be the other way around, that for some reason the PB's USB 2 ports weren't functioning with a USB 1 drive.<br><br>
