Are you looking at the disk itself in Disk utility or the volume? It could simply be unpartitioned, and so you have to do that, but you only get that option if you select the disk, not the volume. It could also be a DOA disk…your iMac should have no problems with a SATA III drive. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
