Hi Joann, My beige G3 tower accepts externals at the "drop of a hat" - I'm always doing what you're attempting with file transfers. Perhaps, since your LaCie is "ancient", the issue is the HD's driver, which might be too old for your OS (is it 9.x?) to recognize, or it's directory is hopelessly corrupted (DiskFit Warror to the rescue). Just a thought or two. Best regards, Dana
