I've never heard that one... Im not saying its not true, just never heard that before. I do know, that to format, you must have a partition setup to format. Also, I noticed that best buy has an external enclosure for $15 after $15 MIR. They also have some blank DL disks $20/10 pack. Please folks, I have things to do before I go there, so leave me one of each please.
