PROBLEM: G-Drive mini will not mount
by Chris Leiter on Jun 30, 2009 at 9:01:03 pm

I purchased a 320 gb g-drive mini about 4 weeks ago at my local apple store. I connect this to my Macbook Pro via Firewire 800 for storing my iPhoto and iTunes libraries . About two weeks ago I decided to buy the 5 volt adapter as it seemed to be using too much power from my laptop, making it hot and performance lagging. The drive works fine and mounts when power is the external power is connected and FW800 or USB is plugged in.

However, in some cases I am not near a power outlet with the g-drive and thus want to connect it just via FW800, the USB bus supplying the power from my laptop. THis is where my issues arises, ever since buying the external power supply the g-drive mini WILL NOT mount nor connect via FW800. What is going on here? Thank you for your help.
