it is your first post in days (besides replies)! welcome back! if you're computer sees the drive afterward then you did fine!

ooph, i didn't need to format mine... it seems to work fine

did I mess up Dugk?

he didn't need to reformat it but it will run a bit faster for him now that he has. he read it from a comment. you don't have to reformat.

I just called dugk and he helped me get it going. It was supposed to "pop" up when i plugged in but it didn't. I think its working now!

Dugk is the master of all media! The king of all computers! and lest we forget, the editor of the world famous PSB newsletter!

all hail King Dugk

really do appreciate the advice on the hardware!
