[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 569232, member: 13090"] Since it's a USB drive, all that [I]should[/I] be required is to connect the drive to your computer. Windows should recognize the drive and mount it automatically. You should not need to format the drive. Period. Not even for storing raw files; the drive won't care what sort of files you're trying to store on it. You say you've tried using the drive on a Mac but that it wasn't working on that computer either. Does that mean the drive would not mount on either computer? If that's the case, you may simply have a "dead" drive and if that's the case you should return it. The only other thing I can think of is that *some* external USB drives require an external power source. If that's the case with your drive you should have a power cord that came with it. [/QUOTE]
