| i have a 160gb box connected to mini, it mounts ok but when i double click some file say a pdf or a .ram file, the app gets lunched but that's it. the color wheel spins and never stop untill i unplug the usb cable. why is mac so bitchy about usb drive? windows never gives me any usb problem. i tried format to mac file system and fat32, same result. |

tried both ways. didn't work. bought a firewire box, works fine, but I'm not happy about the $40 paid on the box. if some1 can help me to use my usb box, i can return the firewire and get money back.  |
