[MacDV] Re Western Digital hardrive Unsupported, plus a comment about Rebates

[Thubten Kunga]

I think his system is defective. He is trying to look with 9.0.4. I'd 
be willing to bet that if he simply runs his system updater 
(REPEATEDLY) until it won't run any more and then runs the latest drive 
setup, that he will see the WD 120 just fine. He's trying to initialize 
a new drive with an OLD CRAPPY SYSTEM.
