Tony >>> On closer reading, I think you're right: the issue is to do with the WD Anywhere Access™ utility. So, presumably you can just reformat the thing, and use the 1TB how you like. So I'll put Western Digital back on the list of possibles. I've never used their USBs / NAS drives; but I've been very pleased with the little WD800UE I put in my laptop - silent and reliable.
