Hi,
I have a 15" flat panel imac, OS 10.3.8 and just hooked up a newly
purchased LaCie 160 GB FireWire (400) external hard drive.
Seems to work great, very fast.
But..., sometimes, I'm getting a message about not being able to
copy files because the file name has unrecognizable characters or is
too long. In all cases I've had to change a "/" to a "_" to compete
the process.
How can I get the new hard drive to handle file names like a mac
does instead of like a pc does??
Also is it possible to move rather than copy files to the new drive.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Dale
When you got the LaCie drive did you use the Disk Utility program to
format it too Mac Extended or Mac Extended (Journaled)?

Hi Chris,
I opened Disk utility and only saw the following options: First Aid,
Erase, Partition, RAID, and Restore. So I didn't do anything.
I sure wish "Format" would have been an option!
It seems my best option now is to choose Erase (after moving
everything out of the external drive) and then choose either
MacExtended or MacExtended (Journaled) and then put "stuff" back onto
the LaCie drive.
What's the difference between the 2 above options.
Thanks,
dale
