problem connecting external hard drive

hey guys i brought this question up before but i had no luck. I am using a mac g5 and i am trying to connect this external hard drive that i had laying around so i can record straight to it. I try to play my pro tools files off of the drive and it says that the drive needs to be set up for play back and record in workspace.

connecting balanced to unbalanced

I've got to run a preamp into an umbalanced reel-to-reel recorder that has XLR ins and outs. The preamp has a balanced out, but it also has an unblanced 1/4" TRS out. What am I better off doing, getting some sort of DI box/transformer, or just getting a 1/4" to XLR unbalanced adapter? I don't really get much of this, I'm new to all this.

connecting motif to interface

Hey,
my question is . .. . since this is direct to mt Tascam fw-1804 interface (looks like an 002 rack) would i have to use a DI box from the motif to the interface? i say this becuase my Line6 POD 2.3 says this is a good idea to do . but i think thats just for guitars becasue of impedence.. but i would like another opinion... thanks
