If it formats then i would drag some file to it to see if it records. Allthough it may not apply here, i would try everything i could think of, like zapping the pram: command-option-shift- delete at startup. Hold for about 4 chimes. Maybe it needs cleaning. I can't help here but, maybe someone can. jr PS If you are running any virus progam try disabling it.
