  • Mine won't activate either. It says that it requires additional time to complete, but I can't even do anything with mine, even though the FAQs say that I should be able to use all of the other functions (iPod etc). Can't even surf. It's locked out.

  • I have a Western Digital 500 GB MyBook that I like a lot. When I bought it, it was one of the cheapest that had a Firewire 800 interface (for my PowerBook, now MBP C2D). It's quiet and works well.
