Thanks Ronni & thanks to everyone else who replied.
Seems it will be Firewire as my other 3 are, they are Sarotech &
have never been a problem.
I'm aware of the format, Mac OS extended but have never partitioned
a drive so will follow your direction Ronni.
Keep y' powder dry, (stay outa the rain)

Ken's Mac is a PowerPC I think, so to for bootability, the drive
would need to be format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

PowerPC-based Macs.
GUID Partition Table - for bootability on Intel-based Macs

Yes, I agree I have never had a problem with Western Digital drives.
I've purchased 'numerous' drives from Daniel Kerr & not one has
caused me any problems.
Cheers,

Hi,
Daniel Kerr supplied me with a WD My Book a while ago and it has
worked flawlessly since I formatted it
using the GUID option on my intel iMac. I don't remember having to
use any software from WD. Just formatted it
with Disk Utility.
Cheers

Hi everyone,
any recommendations for a 1TB hard drive that is readily
compatible with Mac & no need for extra instal procedures?
Officeworks have a 1TB Western Digital but they really don't
work with Mac. it was $179 @ the time but now $219.
I bought one a few months back (My Book or something similar) &
it just did not work without downloading a heap of stuff from
their site.
Also an internal 500 gig is needed. Is it PLE computers in
Wangarra? Roger mentioned them as a possible source.
thanks folks,
