I have an external USB HDD which under Disk management shows it as Disk 5, unknown, not initialised. Right clicking on it produces a menu which includes "Inialize disk". Next screen says I must initialize the disk before Logical Disk Manager can access it. I highlite disk 5 and select MBR as the partition style. Click OK and get the message "The device is not ready" So what do I have to do to make it ready ?	curly (6655)
