So here is an update. The problems I'm having are not Leopard related. What happens is that when I put my Cube in target disk mode and connect it to Powerbook, it takes up to 3-4 minutes for the disk to appear in Disk Utility, and even then it does not mount. If I try to mount it it fails with an error and says to try to run disk first aid on it. I tried that but it never completed (at least not in 24 hours :))....so it is impossible to use the disk in target disk mode. Otherwise the disk seems to be working just fine when I boot from it. Ideas?
