[QUOTE="Vegas5678, post: 1427700, member: 263426"] Thank you for responding! I have followed directions found online to a T. Every time I go to "erase" and reformat, it deletes any volumes there, to which I think, ok I'll make a new partition (like suggested) and then try the whole process again. The partition won't even create. When I go to erase the drive and reformat to mac os extended journaled, I get: Disk Erase failed with the error: POSIX reports: The operation couldn’t be completed. Input/output error When trying to partition, I get the following message: Partition failed with the error: Wiping volume data to prevent future accidental probing failed. And... once doing all of these steps, then when I go to plug in the drive again, it no longer recognizes it and says: "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." [/QUOTE]
