Is it making a clicking noise? One of the known faults of the Lacie drives is the power system failing which makes the drives click (in much the same way they do when the drives catastrophically fail, irritatingly). I have actually had the same effect when I used the wrong power supply with the...

Sadly I think you'll need to find the original disk that came with the macbook, or else buy a copy of Leopard (has to be a retail copy, black disk with a silver X). The grey disks that come bundled with machines are locked to be useable by only that precise class of machine, and that seems to...

Oops, seems I am behind the times now :) I left the update checker on manual.

Oh the joys of poorly documented modifier effects! I didn't know this one. :)

A side note, did you upgrade Office 2008 to the latest version, 12.1.5 - I had issues with several components until I did this.

1: Hitachi/Seagate wise - as I said I had a bad reaction to Hitachi drives, but had never read/heard anything good about them since. Seagate are a top flight manufacturer with an admitted problem with some of their current drives, you gave the impression Seagate=bad. I disagreed 2: You didn't...

Wow, so I was wrong but accidentally correct, that is kinda typical :)

Good point, I am having a bad day :) (started with a 3.5 hour skype conference from hell)

Is your XP CD SP2 or above? As I think you need at least thsi version else you need to 'slipstream' the sp2 update onto the disk, see http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_sp2_slipstream.asp Else it really should install, it is not fast but I never had problems getting it working...

No I am not. You said that WD does not support booting on any of their drives. The page you linked says they do not support booting on external drives. This is also what I found on the WD site at http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1059 Personally I...

I entirely agree, I have given up on prepackaged external HDs. You pay as much or at least not much more to buil;d it yourself but you know what you are getting. For instance i have a bunch of Lacie d2 drives from past years and they are all different drives inside, some good some pretty poor...

Spam? This s/w appears to work only on memory cards.

Parallels transporter appears to do what you ask about - from its manual: This is from Parallels 3 by the way - i have not upgraded to 4 yet but I cannot imagien they have removed this functionality. Look for the Prallels Transporter tool inthe same folder as Parallels. For vbox see this...

I ran parrallels on my old macbook pro (2.33 ghz/2gb ram) with 512 ram assigned to xp and the experience was sluggish, certainly is you were using things like photoshop which are memory-intensive. On my new laptop with 4gb or RAM thinsg are much smoother. If your iMac is recent then upgrading...

Yep, that is right. You need a version of xp already including sp2 - and if you can just get an XP SP2 disk that will be easier.

To install xp using Leopard it must be XPsp2 at a minimum. You can 'slipstream' the sp2 update onto the copy you have using the info at http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_sp2_slipstream.asp

Looks dodgy to me, waaaaay too cheap for new and/or legit software.

Have you done the normal housecleaning steps? Ensure 10-15% free apce on hard drive, repair permissions, clear caches etc?
