    formatting hdd problems

    use your pc to format the hdd, and make sure you format it as FAT and not NTFS mate.

    re above: it is not giving me the FAT option only NTFS, im using vista, any ideas?

    look on the hdd manufacturers website there maybe a tool you can download for formatting the hdd to FAT
    Sometimes a slow gradual approach does more good than a large gesture.
