Hi Billy, It seems to me I have heard this problem before. Have you tried checking for new drivers? http://www.iomega.com/software/ Latest Version of IomegaWare <http://www.iomega.com/datahandler/servlet/dataprocess/driverlist?database=st eerdown> Description: Provides drive detection and features that will help you find, format, protect, manage and change settings on your Iomega drives. Installation: Once you have downloaded the software, double click the file to extract and launch the installation. You will be asked to uninstall older versions of IomegaWare, if so, you can always come back and download the software you want.
