I ordered this drive because of the capacity and the price figuring that when it arrived I would simply reformat it as HFS+ and plug it into my Macintosh Network. The problem was that every time I tried to use Disk Utility to reformat it I kept getting an error (I forget the exact verbiage). Not only that but when I attached it to my PC running XP Home it wouldn’t even recognize it as a hard drive – it thought it was a DVD drive. I poked around on the Seagate website and found this troubleshooting procedure which solved my issue: 1. Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility 2. Click on the Partition tab 3. Click on the Current Volume Scheme drop-down menu and select One (1) partition. 4. Click Options. From the Partition Schemes provided: 5. Click on the GUID Partition Table radio button -OR- Click on the Apple Partition Map radio button 6. Click OK. Select other options as desired (e.g., Volume Name, Format, etc.). 7. Click Apply. The Partition Disk screen opens. 8. Click
