elfdood Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I have a 250gb maxtor hdd in an external USB2 case that I use for backing up... When I boot into OSX I get this error: Here is the info from Disk Utility, the drive is fully recognized by OSX: so it is not the 137gb limit issue. I have tried 2 cases and I get the same error.. The same drive works ok on my laptop running the same os and the same release (jas 10.4.8 sse2/sse3 Any suggestions? cos I am stuck Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43616-usb-hdd-issue/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

elfdood Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 It was formatted inside windows and has some important files I would hate to lose... I have no idea, I even changed the USB kext to eliminate that as an issue.
