I am pleased to hear that your problem has disappeared. As to backup

MiniDock, SCSI MicroDock). External HD cartridge drives are a very

Peter,
your case seems to be rather unique - I would have bet on the invisible
files as the origin of all problems. You might give the Mac formatting
software a try: "Drive Setup" has an option to check a disk and to reload
the appropriate driver. If this fails as well, you might have to backup you

Good idea, Edgar, and thanks for the suggestion.

Peter,
you might try a utility such as File Buddy to look at and eventually delete
invisible files from your HD. Norton creates such files for restore purposes
but also during the defragmentation procedure. After a failuure of the
