[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1228911, member: 46727"] Thanks for posting back details. Since the drive is formatted to FAT-32 it should be "seen" and accessible by both the PC and your new MBP. (And as bobtomay stated above, WD drivers are not needed.) Have you tried attaching the WD to another USB port on your MBP? Try a different cable? If Disk Utility fails to "see" the drive, there has to be a problem with either the drive or the way it's connected. Is your PC still able to see the drive and access it? If it can, open a command prompt from Windows and check the drive. From RUN type in "cmd.exe" without the quotes, then "chkdsk /F E:" (or whatever drive letter it's occupying) Let us know. [/QUOTE]
