Thank you. I have disconnected the WD drive and the Issue continues. Then I would just connect the WD drive and same result. I have tried not daisy chaining them and it still beachballs. I have used the disk utilities to check the rights on the drives and everything checks out. Am I maximizing the port on the FW?

The spinning beachball of death — hasn’t your Mac ever crashed or become stuck on the spinning beachball?

I have not trashed my preferences yet. It also does the same this with DVD Studio Pro. Beachballs FOREVER.
Should I still trash the preferences?

[David Roth weiss]

It can’t hurt to trash preferences.

The other you need to do is to run Disk Warrior on all drives. If you don’t have it, get it, it’s essential, and the best $99 you’ll ever spend.

Will do
Disk Warrior can i DL it online, or is it a store purchase item?

[David Roth weiss]

Both now I believe, however the download version might not boot properly on some machines, and so may not run on your system drive. I’d run to any Mac dealer and get the hard copy. Make sure it’s the newest version too…
