This is getting very annoying now. My external drive doesnt mount well with the PB. I've read that this is a known problem with Mac? Is there a fix? I have a Western Digital 80GB with two partitions. One named Windows and one Macintosh. Windows has all my old PCs backed up files, and hardly ever mounts itself. Even if I use Disk Utility, it wont mount. Or if they both do, it takes AT LEAST 30 minutes. Also, the drive sits here on my desk with its light almsot always flickering because the drive is being read. Is that what its doing; reading it? Its 50GB, while Mac Partition is ~13.
