Hi,
I bought a Maxtor 500GB and offloaded four cards to it. Couldn't import or see anything in FinalCutPro with a MacBookPro. Finally discovered that the new Maxtor came formatted as MS-DOS. Since every other drive (Lacies) I've bought until this one has come from the Apple store and is formatted for Macs, I thought that this might be the issue. I copied the four partitions to a Lacie drive, then used Disk First Aid in the Mac utilities to reformat the Maxtor to MAC OS X extended journaled (which of course erased everything) and then copied the four folder/partion P2 offloads back to the Maxtor. I still don't see anything but now I notice that apparently last clip .txt did not get copied to the Lacie and is not on the Maxtor now.
Whenever I go to click on anything on this reformatted Maxtor, I get a message that says directory structure invalid/please choose a translation code. I was getting that before but I figured that was because of the MS-DOS format.
Can anybody help? Please help!
Thanks.
