I need a little help.... here is the problem.
I have a Macbook 2ghz core duo and I have recently bought the seagate Momentus 5400.3 160 HDD as an internal drive upgrade from NewEgg. Once I got it, I put it into a USB external inclosure. My plan was to connect it to my Mac, run "superduper", then just swap the drives. Easy right? Well once I pluged in the new drive in to the Mac with the USB case it poped up as "this disk is not readable by this computer". I thought, great it's windows formated. I pluged it into a windows computer and it was also not recognized. I have heard of people haveing problems with this drive so I would not be suprized if it was bad out of the box, but I would like to give it a fighting chance. If any of you have any ideas or inputs that would be great. Thank you.
