[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1019142, member: 46727"] That drive should be warranted for more than 6 months. It should have the standard WD warranty of at least 3 years. And yes, I agree with the other post, your drive is dead. WD should send you an RMA to replace the drive. When you receive the new drive it too will probably be formatted to NTFS which means you can't write to it from OS X. Instead of formatting it to HFS Extended Journaled, format it to MS DOS FAT-32. That will make it useable on both systems without having to install drivers. Regards. [/QUOTE]
