[QUOTE="Maximus, post: 1060050, member: 141451"] Nope, still nothing. It sees the disk in DU, but doesn't actually see it in terms of use (doesn't display on the desktop). Can't verify it as it is greyed out, same as repairing it... Tried to create a partition, same story as before, the status bar gets stuck at about 1/3 way in, writing 'Creating partition map'. Same story as before with trying to Erase it, gets stuck. I think I'll write it off as a dead HD. But for the future, as it looks like i will have to go and buy a new external, how can I make sure that it can Read&Write both on Windows and Mac? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
