[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 392444, member: 8287"] Really since the drive is formatted it should show up. NTFS formatted drives will let you read but not write to them, FAT32 drives work perfectly. I really do not know what is going on. One thing I did see with a friends PowerMac G5 once with internal SATA drives. The drive my friend put in was a FAT32 Windows formatted drive, and what caused it not to show up was the Drives Name had a space between two words. Putting it in a windows system and changing the drives name made it mount on the Mac. [/QUOTE]
