Buying Your Own FireWire Hard Drive

I actually received a couple of emails in the past month asking me where the old firewire drive articles were. the ironic thing is that they're on a hard drive with a bad firewire bridge.

in the meantime, check out this article on firewire hard drives i wrote for mnn a while ago. the short answer is: go and buy a lacie d2.

K,

I have a question a little off topic. I can find help nowhere else.., not Fuji, not forums. I feel you may know the solution.

I have a fuji xd pcture card that I use with my fuji a205 digital camera. I can take pictures, store them to the card, then transfer the pictures to my hard drive.

I also used to be able to transfer all sorts of files from my computer to the xd card. Basically tto was the xd card in conjunction with the xd reader as a mini portable hard drive.

After about two months, when I tried to transfer files to the xd card via my computer a message pops up saying "THE DISK IS WRITE-PROTECTED" "remove the write-protection or use a nother disk"

I'm at a lose of how to remove this write protection which I never put on in the first place. I've done searches and have found nothing.

I'm desperate now. Do you have any solutions?

Any help is greatly appreciated
