[QUOTE="chscag, post: 930605, member: 46727"] You seem to indicate that you were using the drive with a Mac before you purchased the iMac? Is that true or are you just using it to backup files from your PC? Also... Are you sure the 1 TB drive is formatted as FAT-32? Using FAT-32 on a drive that size would cause cluster slack that could waste anywhere from 20 to 30 % of the drive's capacity. If the drive is formatted as NTFS that could be the reason the Mac isn't seeing it. Regards. [/QUOTE]
