Hi, I have a g4 powerbook & bought an oxford hard drive enclosure & I can't seem to write to it- It shows up in the disc utility & info shows it to be writable (I have formatted it) - & it also shows up on my hardware profile. But I can't seem to bring it to the front to copy information to it. What am I doing wrong?

That was precisely what I meant, it wasn't showing up in finder or on my desktop (like a CD or DVD would when you insert it into the drive). I did reformat it one more time & then erased it in my disc utility & now it shows up in both finder & on the desctop as with a Firewire icon. Pretty cool, thanks.
