Format it in the case (connect it to a spare ide connector whatever it is), first then put it back It may make a difference Oh just saw the link. Does it only have USB on it? Its not plugged into a hub is it?? If it is, plug it into a USB port, and connect the power to it. If you havent yet. That could be why you cant format it |

| 740737 | 2009-01-21 19:42:00 | Hey, SM, Just out of interest, one of the benefits of a portable external HDD is to access this from many computers, where I may not have the freedom to carry disks of drivers. Like I may be at friends/families places, hobbies / clubs, conference, meeting rooms, internet cafe, while I am travelling. Is it that some of these drives requires a disk for drivers before one can use them? Seems like an issue. :) The drive has the software on it, as soon as you plug it in, it should bring up the installer. SO DONT FORMAT IT Edit - Not sure about the software on the drive now, I've found the CD |

| 740738 | 2009-01-22 04:03:00 | The software comes on a CD. I will try to format it in office tomorrow and see how it goes. Will keep you all posted. Thank you everyone for your advice. | Taurus (9579) | ||
| 740739 | 2009-01-22 21:27:00 | There was actually encryption enabled. That's the reason why it requires the installation of the software. Encryption was removed with the Maxtor Manager after installation and the harddisk was formatted. Now it's back to what I wanted. Just plug and play. Thank you everyone.:thanks | Taurus (9579) | ||
