Reformatting AVID FW drive for Mac?Posted by chad haberstroh
Ummmm. Does it mount on a USB PC?
Is there a drive inside the enclosure? If you power it with nothing connected, can you hear a whine coming up and then the panel lights flicker briefly? All drives--or enough of them--do that whether or not they have a computer connected. If it doesn't, you don't have a drive. You have a prop or stageweight. Koz
Don't know Koz, I don't have a PC to test it. And yes it's a real drive that was partitioned 4 ways and included a bunch of scary Avid files.
Like I said, both macs mount USB, both do not mount Firewire...neither port. I thought it was a formatting issue until it mounted USB. So I reformatted it to my OS while it was mounted USB and tried mounting FW, but nothing. Now I'm guessing the FW ports are fried, but Avid Editor #1 claims all was well when he handed it back to the producer. Did I mention he was fired? Thanks all.
