QUOTE(aiyish @ Dec 27 2010, 04:24 PM) Like benny told you, ur HD must be NTFS. Just reformat to FAT32, prob solved. Can also use ExFat, Snow Leopard can read/write ExFat. ExFat doesn't have the same filesize and disksize limitations as FAT32. Unlike NTFS, you don't need to install additional software.

True, true, still expensive. Hope you get your probs sorted out soon. Fortunately it was HD and not motherboard. Hope you didn't lose any important data.
How long have you had the Momentus XT before it failed? I used mine for about 2 months before I sold it off. A few of my customers are also on the XT. Oldest one about 6 months. So far no probs yet, luckily, but in here already I see you and dvlzplayground have probs with it. It's got me a bit concerned.

Yep, very easy. Some larger apps such as Office or Adobe stuff still require installation but most you just drag and drop it into your Applications folder. Frequently used apps, you can put into the dock. For others you can use Spotlight (the magnifying glass icon in the menu bar) to launch them.
The uninstalling part is a bit more involved.

Can, no problem. The "Mac version" is just pre-formatted to HFS+. The other versions are usually NTFS. Some of the more expensive "Mac versions" also have Firewire 800 in addition to USB. The new USB 3.0 ones will also work with the Mac. This post has been edited by soonwai: Dec 29 2010, 01:06 AM |

I thought uninstall just drag to the rubish bin? |
