How did you do that? Do I need any special capability (hardware/software)? The hard drive I was talking about comes with a usb connector attached to it. How can I connect it to the firewire port? Do I need to buy some hardware (like usb to firewire connector)? I have a firewire port but never used it though. I tried googling around but could not find the answer. thanks raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi Cornell University http://people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://groups-beta.google.com/group/flumech -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
