Hello all,
I have an external LaCie FireWire/DV HD of 120GB.
I just bought another HD (300GB WesternDigital WD3000JB (IDE)) and I replaced the actual 120GB HD with this one in order to have more storage capacity.
The problem is that the new disc only recognizes 120GB instead of the real 300GB that has now.
Has any one had this problem and was able to solve it?
It may be useful to say that I?m using a PowerMac G5 Quad with MacOS 10.4.7
I would really appreciate some help.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Eloy
