A problem is causing some of those who install the new version of Mac
OS X to lose the data stored on their external hard drives.

Apple Computer said that the glitch is limited to external hard drives
that use a high-speed Firewire connection and a particular chipset
manufactured by Oxford Semiconductor. The company encouraged those who
have a drive that uses the chip to disconnect their drives from Macs
that are being upgraded to Mac OS X version 10.3 Panther.
