I am sure you've all solved this problem ages ago as Pbook users but I'm new to the list and I've only got David Pogue's "Missing Manual" up to 10.1. I set up a firewire disk to become my Home Folder on my Pbook 500 last month. Great. Came back home and connected the drive but on my iMac the little Home sign was replaced by a generic firewire drive and all my preferences/emails etc had gone or lost their links. 2 days later I had reinstalled the OS and set up the firewire disk again. Great. Now I am going away again and on starting up the pbook the same thing has happened. What am I doing wrong? Has 10.2 stopped this fantastic way of keeping stuff in one place for 2 computers? I'm running OS 10.2.2 Huge thanks in advance George
