So what you are saying is that you got this disc manager from the HD manufacturer and it would not recognise the new drive you just bought?
Cheers, Steve. My hardware supplier is open today :-)
Well whose a lucky boy then? :-) .
Tell us the outcome of this venture. (I always like to know the results for future reference.)
Cheers.
I exchanged the disk having seen the other fail under their XP test box and made them show me the new one being recognised. I plugged it in to my 10.2 server and it worked without me having to do anything apart from destroy the ntfs it was filled with. I have other questions now in the 'usb external disk questions' thread. Thanks for your help and interest.
