Steve, Thanks for the prompt reply. Hey , drive setup doesnt see the drive either. I have an old 150 pc around here and it see's the HD..... Now the read me in the folder says " If youve updated or formatted the disk with a NON APPLE utility, you'll need to use that utility again to perform the update." OK, what now i guess!!!!!!!! Again, thanks....Dug
