[G4] WD HD

[Brian Conner]

Jim:

I'll leave the CCC questions for others who have used it before. As to your
FW drive not showing on your desktop, usually if you will open Disk Utility
(I leave an alias on my desktop) you will see the drive grayed out. Click on
it to select it and choose Mount from the Options menu.

Most of the time, this will do the trick.

RE; I too am open to suggestions, your description is quite normal to 
what I have had.although some difference to note,I am useing external 
firewire boxes that have seperate on off switches,also if I try useing 
either external drive box alone I get your problems as well, however if 
I daisy chain the two, then all is well they both show up fine,but as 
for system backup,I have CCC my main drive to each of the two back up 
drives,some things work others do not,I seem to loose a large amount of 
data somewhere,the Icons for it are presant,but all the info is 
gone,its just like the folders are empty. so it may be something to do 
with termination,but I really dont know much. best wishes
