What bothers me these days: I bought an exteral enclosure and a seagate 320GB disk to make a clone of my disk so it can be replaced by the new seagate disk. When working with Windows XP via Bootcamp the disk works just fine on both the left and the right USB port. But when I'm running OSX, it just doesn't work at all! I coudn't test it with the disk powered by both USB ports, because the cable is too short.

I have the early MacbookPro, when I used Tiger my rightside usb was able to feed enough power to the Buffalo's MiniStation. Ysterday I updraded to the Leopard and I've had a lot of problems. The Buffalo will work (from right side), but time to time the osx just notces that "you have illegally removed your USB device", and I haven't even touch the cables. And the most horrible part is, that it crashes sometimes the whole OSX!!! That is not Apple way, feels like Windows user... It's really weird that the switching the OSX to the Leopard did this...
