[QUOTE="uhmorphous, post: 1659220, member: 352314"] I don't know whether you're using the external for Time Machine backups, drag-and-drop, or cloning, but my understanding of My Passport is that the built-in software is not in any way helpful, and can't be extricated from the drive. I don't know if there's anything you can do in this situation, and not knowing what you've tried specifically, it's hard to say what's going on. If you're using it as a Time Machine backup, I'd recommend getting another type of drive, one that can be formatted and doesn't have its own software embedded, then doing a fresh backup and using that drive from here on in. If you're using it for something else, more information would help. [/QUOTE]
