Misuta_Yancha Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 negative. new drives of any type will be all zero's.. nothing. if it shows up in disk management which you said it did, that means it sees the drive. so everything is right. 513396[/snapback] that is unless it comes pre formated like my western digital external disk that has lights and stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUMaestro Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 ahh. didn't know they did that. i geuss it'd be smart to have externals formatted in ntfs when you get em for dumb people... but then people using fat would be screwed, and if you shipped it in fat, people with ntfs capabilities would lose out on it. prolly better to have a blank drive with instructions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNUco2007 Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 keep in mind, these external hard drives are the exact same drives you have inside ur PC. theyre just put in a plastic case and have something to convert IDE to USB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
