512681 2007-01-04 19:38:00 Try this: right-click on My Computer, select Manage, and in the left pane click Disk Management. Then format it from there. It may even need partitioning. pcuser42 (130)

512686 2007-01-05 11:59:00 Does the manual offer any settup info?

What's the drive actually called (make and model)?

Is it USB or firewire or what?


If its just like any other external drive and windoze wont do it for ya....try linux.

D/load the puppy iso, burn it, boot it and run Gparted to do the formating.

512687 2007-01-05 12:33:00 no setup info. it is a plug and play stuff.
i dont really know its information though i tried to look for it.
its connected with a USB to computer.
what is the puppy iso?
how can i change it file system from raw to NTFS?

512688 2007-01-05 13:15:00 Ahhh...so basically it's an external hdd that plugs in via usb.

In order to use it you need to put a filesystem on it such as ntfs.

You need software to do that.

Puppylinux is a version of the linux operating system which you can d/load here (www.puppylinux.org).

Sorry but it's late and I'm very tired so I won't elaberate any more tonight....I'll check back tomorrow though.

512689 2007-01-05 17:43:00 That drive is a external multimedia hard drive player (eg MP3, DVD) - not your standard external hard drive disk. I would of thought it would include software to manage it? Did it not come with an installation CD? Jen (38)
