I am now ready to go filming to France next Jan, skiing with my GoPro movie camera. I use DiskWarrior on all my disks for regular preventative maintanance. I opened my copy of DiskWarrior v4.4 and rebuilt the directory. If anybody wants to know how, please ask. I changed the desk icon to the WD icon (I used the nice icon in the included isoftware). The drive was already pre formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled). It worked straight out of the box,connected via the supplied Firewire 800 cable to my old, trusty Mac G4 Powerbook laptop,
( The Ultra has a USB 3 outlet, my old Mac USB 2 and Firewire 800 - I could of bought a Y cable but decided not to and go for the faster Firewire connectivity) I returned the Ultra to Amazon for a refund, and took delivery of a !TB Pasport Studio for Mac a day or so ago, also, from Amazon UK. I thought I’d let you know the happy outcome (good news seldom gets published in this type of forum).
